Footage shows Israeli F-15 jets flying over Jordanian airspace.

Jordan does not have this specific aircraft. Under international law, this is participation in the attack.

| Statement from Iran’s National Air Defense HQ:

Despite prior warnings from officials of the Islamic Republic to the criminal and illegal Zionist regime to avoid any adventurist actions, this illegitimate regime carried out a provocative attack early this morning, targeting several military sites in the provinces of Tehran, Khuzestan, and Ilam.

The national air defense system successfully intercepted and countered this hostile action, although limited damage was sustained in certain areas. The extent of the incident is currently under investigation.

The public is urged to maintain solidarity and calm, follow related news through national media, and disregard rumors spread by hostile media outlets.

— Iran’s government spokesperson also issued a statement:

• The Iranian people feel pride in the nation’s defensive capabilities and have confidence in them.

• As the official statements from the national air defense show, only limited damage has been incurred, and it is essential for the public to remain calm, avoid giving in to rumors, and follow updates only from official media and statements from the Air Defense Force.

• We must commend the strength and resilience of the youth of this land who, through their actions, have restored the national pride of Iranians.

— Some notes to consider:

• No bright impact flashes observed in Tehran > a very limited air-launched ballistic-missile attack (Air-Lora/Golden-Horizon)

• There are no known missile bases or important sites in Ilam province.

• The same conditions apply to Khuzestan province, however here Iran has at least one ballistic missile base & an air-force base, but no missile production infrastructure of any importance.

| BREAKING: Iran reserves its right to respond to Israel’s military aggression— Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The statement:

• As reiterated by Iran on numerous occasions, Iran considers itself both justified and obligated to defend against foreign acts of aggression, based on its inherent right to self-defense as enshrined in Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.

• Iran emphasizes that it will leverage all material and spiritual capabilities of the Iranian nation to protect its security and vital interests. Recognizing its role in maintaining regional peace and security, Iran also reminds all regional states of their collective responsibility to uphold peace and stability. It expresses gratitude to peace-loving countries in the region and beyond who have condemned and denounced the aggressive actions of the occupying Israeli regime.

• Undoubtedly, the continuation of the Zionist regime's occupation, unlawful actions, and crimes in the region—particularly the genocide against the Palestinian people and aggressions against Lebanon, perpetuated under the broad military and political support of the U.S. and certain Western countries—remains the primary cause of tension and insecurity in the region.

• The Islamic Republic of Iran urges immediate, collective action from all United Nations member states, states party to the "Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide," and states party to the "1949 Geneva Conventions," to address these grave violations of international law, the UN Charter, the Genocide Convention, and international humanitarian law, which simultaneously represent a serious breach of international peace and security. Iran stresses the urgent need for global action to halt the genocide, war, and aggression against Gaza and Lebanon, and to restrain the war-mongering behavior of the Zionist regime.

— Iranian reporter in Tehran, went and interviewed some people in the morning and asked them:

“They say Israel attacked Iran, aren’t you scared you came outside to work out?”

One of them replied: “Scared? [laughs] Nah lol”

Israel concludes attack, says struck Iranian missile systems & rocket production sites – statement

“I can now confirm that we have concluded the Israeli response to Iran’s attacks against Israel,” IDF spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said in an official statement.

The Israeli army specified the targets in Iran, including surface-to-air missile systems, air defense capabilities, and production sites for rockets reportedly fired at Israeli territory over the past year.

Israel's overnight strikes on Iran (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/35804) are the first ever Israeli military operation on Iranian territory for which the Israeli authorities have officially taken responsibility, Axios reported.

The operation was code-named "Days of Repentance."

Israel missile attack on Iran: What’s known so far?  

The Israel Defense Forces launched three waves of “precise” strikes (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/35808) on Iranian military targets, in what Tel Aviv said was in “response” to Tehran’s attacks on the Jewish state in early October.   

According to the IDF, the attack on Iran has ended and Israeli warplanes have returned home after striking military targets, namely missile manufacturing facilities, surface-to-air missile arrays, and air defense systems.  

The targets included Iran’s air defense batteries and ballistic missile manufacturing sites, the IDF said.

Over 100 warplanes (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/35803), including the fifth-generation F-35s, were reportedly involved in the attack. 

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was in a bunker in Tel Aviv’s Kirya military base during the attacks, per the PM’s office. 

White House and Pentagon officials have “consulted closely with Israel in recent days about the scope and type of targets Israel would launch against Iran", the New York Times reported. The US, however, was not involved in the strikes, White House National Security Council spokesperson, Sean Savett, said in a statement. 

It was the first time that Israel has claimed responsibility for an attack on Iran, in an operation code-named "Days of Repentance (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/35811)", according to Axios.
 
Iranian media in turn maintained that its air defenses had successfully shot down (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/35804) Israeli targets in the airspace around Tehran province, adding that the IDF attacks also caused “limited damage” in Ilam and Khuzestan provinces.  

The Syrian Defense Ministry said that the country’s air defense systems had downed several Israeli missiles (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/35801) that targeted Syria’s central and southern areas. 

State news agency IRNA reported that the situation in the Iranian capital, Tehran, remained normal despite the explosions that were heard west of the city. 

The military centers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps located in the west and southwest of the Iranian capital were reportedly not damaged. 

Iran is ready to respond to Israel (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/35805) over the missile strikes, a high-ranking source told the Tasnim state news agency. There is “no doubt” Israel will “receive a proportionate response to any action", the source pointed out.

Iranian Parliament's National Security Committee: The Zionist enemy is merely making noise and is too weak to inflict any real harm on Iran.

‍Al Mayadeen:

The Israeli aggression failed to target any area in Tehran due to medium-range air defenses.

Medium-range air defenses were activated in Tehran Province and downed all hostile targets.

All hostile targets around Tehran were shot down.

Israel's attempt to target air defense bases around Tehran Province has failed.

keyword: Medium-range air defenses

— / NEW: According to preliminary info, Israeli-backed collaborators launched quadcopters from the suburbs of Tehran

This was done with the aim of provoking Iranian air defenses and revealing their locations, however, with full alertness and awareness, only short range anti-air autocannons were activated.

Medium to long range air defenses were not activated at all and did not reveal any of their locations.

The quadcopters had small explosive charges, and were aimed at air defense systems. All of them were shot down.

@Middle_East_Spectator

— In my opinion, it is clear that the vast majority of the attack was thwarted, and they probably managed to hit some empty parts of IRGC installations.

I would estimate anywhere between 5 to 10 hits total, in a 'best case scenario' for Israel, although we only have visual confirmation of 1 or 2 hits currently, one near Tehran and one in Eslamshahr.

The explosions were very small so I doubt there was any major damage, probably some of them were caused by quadcopters.

No critical targets were attacked, the military targets were very low value, like empty IRGC training grounds (firing ranges and parade grounds) and some warehouses as well as drone assembly points.

@Middle_East_Spectator

So, a weak Israeli attack after lots of bluster about taking out the Iranian leadership. Iran should retaliate in kind. This will make Israel and its pitbull USA look even more weak.

"Mighty" wankers.

This effort was pathetic.

This was a successful operation by Israel . They showed that : ( 1 ) The previous Iranian missile strikes on Israel , had not deterred them from further attacks against Iran . ( 2 ) They showed they are ready to kill Iranians , and Iranians fear killing Israelis . ( 3 ) They showed they can use their planes to fly over Jordan , with impunity , and target precise locations . ( 4 ) That they lost no planes or tankers in this operation . ( 5 ) That Iran's promise of immediate retaliation , is but empty words . ( 6 ) That they will not be thought a lesson by Iran or fear punishment or be put in a box , by a missile fireworks display by Iran . ( 7 ) That they will escalate , and Iran will not . ( 8 ) That their missiles can destroy Iranian AD site , killing operators .

We do not know how many Israelis died. Don't expect to have the truth from any NATzO Borg Collective "countries".

The main story here is the weak strike by Israel on Iran. It avoided targeting economic targets. If it is so mighty and has the lunatics in Washington at its back, what is
it afraid over?

The idea that they can successfully hide their true casualties is yet another success for them . As well as keeping the strike " limited , " for it to be politically palatable , by Iranian liberals and defeatists in power as well as limiting or avoiding a counter- strike ! Spoon feeding poison , or boiling the Iranian AD radar , slowly ! Iranians not directly helping the Hezb Allah , and not even helping themselves directly . And outside powers ? As long as they are ok , Iran can turn into a ruin ! " Iran is safe ! No harm done ! Look it was nothing ! Amazing AD ! "

Clearly it was a limited attack on Iran. So it seems likely that the US persuaded Israel that an all out attack against Iran that provoked a strong Iranian response would jeopardize their Generals Plan for extermination of Gaza.

So, the Israeli plan should be a limited face saving strike on Iran in order to continue uninterrupted the genocide/destruction of the Palestinians/South Lebanon. That could then be spun as a Strong Warning and the genocide could continue unhindered. Unfortunately for Israel they killed a couple of Iranian AD operatives, whilst the Iranians, in a much larger strike, killed no-one..

Kinda making the point "would you rather fight a dangerous adversary or murder more women and (future resistance warriors) children?"

We shall see.

Iran doesn't seem to have S-400

Israel is totally afraid of Iran now. Even more since the mrning because they just proved they can't do shit without the US.

This attack is limited for two reason. They are scared of hitting anything of value. And they lack weapons to reach Iran. None of their fighter has the legs to bring enough bombs/missiles close to Iran. They don't have enough ALBM to really target many targets and they clearly have no solution to hit underground facilities.

Israel will think twice now before attacking Iran.
