Revenge has started. Trump was glad with an unprecedented attack on Friday: “It was a big day.” Netanyahu closed its embassies around the world and asked the Israelites: avoid displaying Jewish symbols in public spaces. US may take action.
“The whole territory of Israel is under fire,” warns the Israeli Armed Forces this Friday, shortly after they will confirm the launch of “Hundreds of Miscellaneous Ballistic Missiles”-the beginning of an “overwhelming” response.
The bangs of the explosions could be heard in Jerusalem, and the Israeli TV stations showed clouds of smoke rising in Telavive, but there are no reports of victims at this time. The army said dozens of missiles were released and ordered residents from all over the country to move to anti -aircraft shelters.
More than 70 dead in Iran
“It was absolutely terrifying. My heart was hitting strong.”
This was Roya’s first reaction when Israel attacked, at three in the morning, the West Zone of Teerão, where the 62 -year -old lives.
“I saw smoke on the horizon and, at first, I thought all the attacks were further, but when the images appeared, I found that a house at a few streets of ours had been hit,” he says, in reference to the unprecedented attack.
In Tehran, the air defense forces were active in the afternoon. More than 70 people died And more than 320 were injured in the attacks of Israel at dawn on Friday, according to Iranian news agency Fars. Explosions were reported across the west in the southeastern Iranian capital and northwest in Tabriz, but also near the Fordow Nuclear Center in the mountains.
Contamination – chemical or radioactive – was detected within the nuclear place of Natanz. The Israeli army said the largest uranium center in Iran has suffered significant damage. However, there will be no reason to worry outside the site, according to the atomic energy organization of Iran.
Israel says that “had no choice” and warned Trump
Israel has already interceived Iranian drones and sounded the sirens in the north of the country. The country ended its embassies and diplomatic missions around the worldfearing the Iranian retaliation. He also asked Israelites around the world: avoid displaying Jewish symbols in public spaces.
Netanyahu says Israel “had no choice” but attacking Iran and said the attack was originally planned for late April and that the US was warned in advance.
The Israelite army states that its war planes continue to attack Iranian missile launchers, as well as infrastructures used to launch drones. Shortly before, the Israeli forces said they were trying to intercepted a missile released from Yemen.
Netanyahu fears revenge…
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expects “several iramine attacks.” The Israeli Army spokesman, Effie Defie, warned that the country must prepare for “a prolonged operation“.
“We are monitoring Iran, preparing ourselves for an Iranian response; we know that they are preparing to respond and fire against us,” said the Military spokesman.
“We have goals for war and we will continue to operate according to them until they are achieved. I repeat, we have well -defined goals and goals for this operation. It is a gradual operation. I will not share the operational objectives that we will attack for obvious reasons, ”he said.
The Israeli police agency says in X that its forces are “ready for any scenario.”
… And Iranians promise it
Iranian citizens asked for revenge on the streets after Israeli attacks in Tehran and other cities. Otherwise, “We ended up as Gaza”said one of the citizens, quoted by Lusa.
The Iranian President condemned Israel’s “wild and criminal attack”, which launched several bombings against the country, and promised “a powerful and legitimate response” from Tehran that will make “the enemy regret it stupid action ”.
Iranian Foreign Minister considered Israel’s attack “a declaration of war against the Islamic Republic of Iran” by the “most terrorist regime in the world”, which has already exceeded “all red lines.”
“When Iran’s response will include heavy ballistic missiles directed to Treesvive – not just military bases, but other places,” said Foad Izadi, professor of international relations at the University of Teerão, to Al Jazeera: “Price has to be high enough to ensure that we will not see a second round of attacks [israelitas]”.
Attack Help Trump
The end of the 60 -day period during which US President Donald Trump was open to negotiating with Iran seems to have been a determining factor in Israel’s decision to attack Iran this morning.
But Trump, who has congratulated the attacks, is not sure if Iran still has a nuclear program, he told himself.
“It was excellent”Trump said to. “More, much more, it’s yet to come.”
“It was a big day” and Israel used “great American equipment” during the attack, the US president said. “I tried to save the Iran of humiliation and death,” he said, adding that he is not concerned with the possibility of regional war.
And the attack was “excellent” for Trump because probably increased the hypotheses of a nuclear agreement between the US and Iran.
“I don’t think [que o ataque tenha comprometido as negociações]. Maybe the opposite. Maybe now they negotiate seriously, ”the president said to.” The people I was dealing with are dead, the hard line, “the US president told.
Washington began negotiations with Tehran about his nuclear program in April. Israel accuses Iran of wanting to build an atomic bomb and considers it an existential threat. Tehran, who denies having such military ambitions, says he is developing the nuclear for civil purposesnamely for energy purposes. Washington requires the full dismantling of Iran’s nuclear activities, a “non -negotiable” requirement for Tehran.
The Israeli offensive occurs as Iran and the United States prepared for a sixth round of nuclear negotiations on Sunday. It is not yet known for sure if the agenda remains.
USA can take action
Fordowbuilt inside mountains, it is one of the underground nuclear facilities that Israel will have to destroy to annihilate the Iranian nuclear program. But the Israelites will not have what is necessary to do it – and wait for the US help.
In fact Israel will not be able to completely destroy Iran’s nuclear program, believes Israel’s National Security Counselor Tzachi Hanegbi, quoted by Al Jazeera. But in fact the military campaign triggered this Friday can “create the conditions for a long-term agreement, led by the United States, that will completely frustrate the nuclear program.”
“There is a probability that the situation destabilizes, will make worse“, He assures the agency Alan Eyre, an former US employee involved in previous nuclear negotiations with Iran: but” this will not fulfill Israel’s goal of decreasing or eliminating the nuclear threat. “
The Israeli plan was well known to the US. Donald Trump has already confirmed him to, denying the official version of the Secretary of State who spoke in a unilateral action by the Israelites.
Two US employees told the US to transfer military resources and ships to the Middle East in response to Israeli’s attacks on Iran and against a possible Iranian retaliation attack.
The UN nuclear agency gathers urgently on Monday.
