🔴Israel has carried out a retaliatory military operation against Iran amid growing tensions in the Middle East that threaten to push the region into wider conflict.
Iran used air defence batteries in several locations after reports of three explosions close to a military airbase near the cities of Isfahan and Tabriz, Tehran state media said. Besides being a military stronghold, Isfahan is a known centre where uranium is converted for nuclear purposes. Citing concerns that Israel may target Iran’s nuke facilities, the International Atomic Energy Agency had already evacuated its inspectors from the nuclear facilities on April 16.
U.S. officials have confirmed the strike, adding that President Joe Biden had been forewarned. Israel assured the U.S. that Iranian nuclear facilities near Isfahan would not be targeted, CNN reported. It comes after Iran's retaliatory strike over the weekend when Tehran launched some 300 drones and missiles at Israel in response to the killing of several Islamic Revolutionary Guard commanders at an Iranian consulate in Syria earlier this month.
A senior officer of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has warned that Tehran is capable of striking Israeli nuclear facilities if its own are hit, according to local media.
The Israeli nuclear compounds “are identified, and the necessary information about all the targets is at our disposal to respond,” Brigadier General Ahmad Haghtalab of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, claimed. “We have a hand on the trigger to launch powerful missiles and destroy those targets.”
The Israeli nuclear industry has a public civilian component as well as a purported military component, the existence of which it neither confirms nor denies. West Jerusalem has an estimated 80 nuclear weapons at its disposal, including 30 gravity bombs and 50 warheads for medium-range ballistic missiles, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.
