The Iran-Israel tension, which has been talked about for weeks, has now changed its dimension. Iran-Israel tension, which was thought by the international community to spark World War III, escalated after Israel attacked the Iranian consulate on April 1, killing 7 people. Iran’s statement of ‘we will punish’ after the attack proved that we were at an inevitable point. The suggestions of the USA and the UK to calm Iran were also unsuccessful. As of last night, Iran launched dozens of ballistic missiles and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) targeting Israel. After the incident, the ‘we are ready’ message came from Israel very quickly.
ISRAEL TOOK IMMEDIATE ACTION
It was reported that the Israeli Security Cabinet authorized the War Cabinet to respond to Iran’s attack.
In the news on Channel 12 television, it was stated that with this step, the War Cabinet could decide on the response to Iran’s attack without needing the approval of the Security Cabinet.
It was stated that with the authorization of the War Cabinet, the decision-making process regarding the response to Iran will become faster and easier.
Israel also called an emergency meeting of the United Nations (UN) on the grounds that it was under attack.
USA AND ENGLAND ARE ON THE SIDE OF ISRAEL
After this move by Iran, the USA and the UK immediately made statements of support for Israel.
While Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq closed their airspace, Jordan declared that it had shot down some Iranian UAVs.
Egypt, on the other hand, called on the parties to exercise moderation.
Saudi Arabia announced that it is “very concerned” about the increase in military tension in the region and its dangerous repercussions.
IRON DOME IS ACTIVE
Israel’s air defense system, Iron Dome, destroyed the missiles sent from Iran one by one.
Images of the moments when the missiles were destroyed were widely covered in the international press.
