In the Early hours of Saturday, the Israeli air force launched attacks against Iranian military facilities. After a few hours, the IDF unexpectedly said that it had stopped their response against Iran. Additionally, it cautioned Iran to avoid retaliation.
The attacks, according to the Israel Defense Forces, were reaction to about a year of nonstop Iranian assaults. When Tehran launched a ballistic strike on Israeli soil on October 1, Israel had long pledged to retaliate. The Iranian attack came after Hassan Nasrallah, the head of Hezbollah, was killed in southern Beirut few weeks earlier.
Tehran’s attacks also came after the political head of Hamas was assassinated a month earlier by a terrorist attack in Iranian capital that authorities attributed to Israel.
Israel’s midnight attacks on Iran, according to the US government, must finish the direct firefights between Israel and Iran. The United States also threatened Tehran with “repercussions” if it reacted. The White House assumes that the Israeli assault should put an end to any combat interaction between the two countries, according to an authoritative White House source.
According to the source, US President was informed as the Israeli operations progressed and as the Israelis executed the assaults. According to the anonynous official Washington was not involved in the attack.
