The air attack, which sounded the bells of a new world war, worried the whole world, especially the USA and Israel. Iran rained hundreds of missiles on Israel, which it held responsible for the attack on the consulate building in Damascus. In the statement that came a short time later, it was stated that the operation had ended. However, there were tense moments in the White House during this period.
THEY WATCHED THE MISSILES RAINING FROM THE SKY WITH ANXIETY.
Biden and his closest intelligence and military advisors followed Iran’s attack on Israel with hundreds of missiles, moment by moment, in the Situation Room at the White House. Meanwhile, it was a matter of curiosity how Israel’s air defense system would resist the attack.
According to British-based ITV; A senior administration official described these moments as “incredibly intense” and a “time of escalating emotions” as they knew the missiles were in the sky and would take several minutes to reach Israel.
“WE WERE A LITTLE RELAXED”
The senior administration official who was in the room during the meeting said they were “somewhat relieved” when it became clear that 99 percent of the attack had been neutralized and added, “We felt pretty good at this point.”
“ISRAEL WILL BE DESTROYED”
A senior administration official argued that Iran openly intended to “destroy and inflict casualties” and confirmed that there was no advance warning from Iran about the timing of the attack.
