Just now, for the first time in history, Iran launched a large-scale direct attack on the Israeli mainland, with drones and missiles flying together, and the Golan Heights and the Negev air base becoming the focus. This sudden "hard encounter" was like a heavy punch, breaking the forbearance and restraint between the two countries, and instantly focusing the world's attention on this war-torn land. President Biden interrupted his weekend trip and quickly returned to the White House Situation Room, and a crisis response war related to the Middle East and even global security officially began!
The Israeli mainland was attacked
"Sadiq promises": the fire of revenge in Iran
Operation "Sadiq Promise" of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Air Force came like a thunderbolt. This wave of offensive not only marks Iran's first direct attack on the Israeli mainland, but also a tough response to the Israeli air strike on the Iranian consulate in Syria in early April. At that time, eight Iranian personnel, including a Revolutionary Guard commander, were tragically killed, and Iran vowed to make Israel pay. Now, the Sadiq promise has been fulfilled, and Persian wrath is burning brightly, crossing the skies over Iraq and reaching the heart of Israel.
Long-range attacks intertwined with drones and missiles
Iran's arsenal is remarkable. More than 100 suicide drones, laden with explosives, are like a group of "death messengers", traveling thousands of miles to reach Israel. These drones are not an ordinary cargo, and each carrying 20 kilograms of explosives is enough to wreak havoc on a target. At the same time, more than a dozen ballistic missiles and cruise missiles pierced the night sky like arrows from the string, roaring away. Iran's orchestrated long-range attack, despite its long journey, did not diminish its power, but rather provided Israel and the United States with ample warning time to deploy defenses in advance and minimize casualties.
The United States and Britain made a joint effort to intercept the "wolf pack in the air"
In the face of Iran's fierce offensive, the United States and Britain reacted quickly. The US military's air defense system in the Middle East successfully intercepted some drones, demonstrating its powerful anti-missile capabilities. Not only that, US and British warplanes made a decisive attack on the border between Iraq and Syria, like falcons preying, and successfully shot down some Iranian drones that "crossed the line", effectively supporting Israel's defensive operations. This scene is like a modern version of "Eagle Strikes the Sky", showing the close cooperation and efficient linkage between allies.
Countries in the Middle East are on tight nerves, and U.S. allies have different positions
Iran's direct attack undoubtedly brought a strong shock to the entire Middle East region. Iran's neighbors, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Kuwait, have questioned the U.S. military base agreement, fearing that it could become a springboard for attacking Iran. Turkey has even explicitly forbidden the US military from using its airspace to use force against Iraq, demonstrating its firm stance on maintaining regional peace. The actions of these countries reveal the complex and volatile geopolitical landscape of the Middle East, as well as the delicate trade-offs and choices of various countries in the face of the conflict between Iran and Israel.
Biden returned to the White House, and the war room was brightly lit
After receiving the news of the attack, US President Joe Biden did not hesitate to interrupt his weekend trip and urgently return to Washington by helicopter. Arriving at Andrews Air Force Base, he hurried to the White House and headed straight for the heavily guarded Situation Room. There, he held urgent consultations with senior officials such as Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and CIA Director Burns. The lights in the war room remained unturned all night, signaling that a strategic game was raging over the future direction of the Middle East.
Israel is ready to fight, and there is no fear of challenge under the Iron Dome
In the face of Iran's provocations, Israel has shown its usual toughness and calmness. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made it clear that the IDF has deployed a well-equipped defense system and is fully prepared for both defense and counterattack. Schools are closed across the country, airspace is closed, and people are feeling the imminent war amid the sound of sirens. However, Israel did not panic and met the coming challenge with iron determination and strength. As Netanyahu said, "The IDF is strong, the people are strong!" In this contest, Israel vows to defend the dignity and security of the country with strength.
The Way Forward: When Will the Powder Keg Die Out?
Iran's direct attack broke the long-standing pattern of proxy wars between the two countries and led to a sharp escalation of the situation. The staunch support of the United States, as well as the immediate assistance of the United States and the United Kingdom, have undoubtedly injected a shot in the arm for Israel. However, it is still unclear whether this will lead to a further expansion of the conflict or even a full-scale war. When the powder keg in the Middle East returns to calm may depend on whether all parties can find room for compromise and dialogue on the brink of fierce fighting.
The wheels of history are rolling forward, and the hope of peace still needs to be held
The history of the Middle East is a long scroll of blood and fire. Every conflict is like the wheel of history ruthlessly crushing, leaving countless lives in ruins. Yet, even in the darkest of times, people's desire for peace has never been extinguished. The direct confrontation between Iran and Israel has once again reminded the world that only through dialogue and cooperation can we truly resolve the contradictions and achieve lasting peace. In this rapidly changing world, let us pray together that the Middle East will be free from the flames of war as soon as possible, and that the dawn of peace will illuminate this ancient and suffering land.
