2024 Iran–Israel conflict

Ritter: Israel believed that it could launch a strike against Iran and suffer no consequence - that is no longer the case.

"This is deterrence. This means that in the future, if either Israel or the United States plan on carrying out an action against Iran, they have to weigh in the consequences of their actions knowing that Iran has the capacity to reach out and touch any place, any spot, any target in the region in Israel or out of Israel, and there's nothing anybody could do to stop that. This is why president Biden has been on the phone with Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, telling him, 'Do not retaliate,'" Scott Ritter, ex-US Marine Corps intelligence officer, told Sputnik.

Sunday morning Mohammad Bagheri, the head of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, said (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/21394) that operation 'True Promise' against Israel has been completed.

"Operation 'True Promise' was an extraordinarily successful operation, not only for Iran, but indeed for the world, because Iranian deterrence now is a reality that can hold Israel and the United States in check," Ritter concluded.

How much does Israel's defense cost?

Repelling Iran's missile attack cost Israel $1.3 billion, General Ram Aminach, economic advisor to the former chief of staff, said.

While Iran spent "only 10% of the specified amount on the night attack," Aminach expressed the opinion that Israel needs to increase its defense budget.

Former chief economist of the Ministry of Finance Yoel Neve, in turn, did not support that opinion.

"The burden of defense spending can significantly damage the country's growth potential," he noted.

Major General Bagheri: America, which declared that it was not aware of the operation of the Zionist regime in Damascus, but in fact, that operation was carried out with his green light.

America declares that it is not looking for the development of tension in the region, but our information indicates that it tried with all its might in Iraq and Jordan to neutralize last night's operation, but it failed and the operation reached its goals.

  Israel propaganda social media accounts published this short video, claiming their airbase wasn't hit.

The short video doesn't show any airbase structure nor it shows any angle larger than 150 degree. An identical video of landing is repeated twice and merged to make video longer and then jet is shown on land at exactly same position where it was landing and not in hanger or anywhere close to airbase installations.

It is also speculated they released a pre recorded video of landing from archive just to say that airbase is working and have cut the part where it shows structures because later satelite images can show damages.

Iranian TV: The Revolutionary Guards used “Imad” ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and “Shahed 136” drones in its response to Israel.

Support message from Russian soldiers in SMO to Iranian missile strike on Israel.

Israeli media reports that Iran is the only country in the world to have directly attacked three nations known to possess nuclear weapons: the US, Pakistan, and Israel.

As many of us anticipated, as the hours go by, more information becomes available about Iran's attack on Israel.
There are dozens of casualties and significant damage.
Apart from the weapons used in the attack.

Zelensky condemned Iran's attack on Israel.

“Ukraine condemns Iran’s attack against Israel using Shahed drones and missiles. We in Ukraine know very well the horror of similar attacks from Russia, using the same Shahed drones and Russian missiles, the same tactics of massive air strikes. Every effort must be made to prevent further escalation in the Middle East. Iran’s actions threaten the entire region and the world, just as Russia’s actions pose a risk of expanding the war,” Zelensky wrote on the social network X and called on the US Congress to unblock support for Ukraine and Israel.

What is known about Israel’s Nevatim Airbase hit by Iran?

Iran's ballistic missiles struck the Israeli Nevatim Air Base in the al-Naqab desert, the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported on Sunday. The agency said Israeli jets took off from Nevatim to conduct the attack on the Iranian Consulate on April 1.

Nevatim Air Base is located 15 km southeast of Beersheba; about 1,100 km away from the western borders of Iran; 16 km away from Dimona – believed to be home to Israel’s nuclear weapons program.

It is one of Israel’s largest bases, with reportedly four different length runways.

Stealth fighter jets, transport aircraft, tanker aircraft, electronic reconnaissance/surveillance craft, Israeli Air Force One – a converted Boeing 767 for international visits by Israel’s president and prime minister, are stationed at the base.

F-35I Adir (“The Mighty One”) fighter jets are also there. The planes are Israel’s own modified variant of the US Lockheed Martin-designed F-35 jets.

122 Squadron "Nachshon" at the base operates several configurations of Gulfstream jets, used for electronic reconnaissance and surveillance.

In March 2024, the US Air Force announced that its F-35 stealth jets were certified for use with B61-12 atomic bombs. This triggered speculation that Israel’s F-35I Adir could be capable of transporting and dropping Israeli nuclear weapons, and whether such weapons could be stored at Nevatim.

Back in 2008, the US purportedly deployed an early warning anti-missile radar system operated by a permanent 120-strong US Army staff at the Nevatim base.

First runway built in 1947 for Sherut Avir, the air force of the Haganah military organization; forerunner of the Israeli Air Force. Renovated in 1983 as a modern air base with joint Israeli and US government funding.

Higher quality images of the missiles fired in the "Honest Promise" operation.







The liquid fuel vertical ballistic missile used is of the Emad type (a product of the Ministry of Defense Aerospace Industries) and the solid fuel inclined ballistic missile is apparently of the Khyber Shakan type

After tonight, we can safely say that Israel has the most powerful AD in the world. Of course, thanks to its small territory, it is tightly covered by modern AD systems.

Last pic is just shadow of clouds.

Anyway impressive Iranian attack. Impressive also how arab state are US dogs. Without them Israel would be in deep shit. I guess the rulers there will be seen as enemies by their own population, specially king of Jordan.
