Explosions suddenly rang out one after another in Iran, and a senior US official revealed that Israel had launched missiles at Iran, and the United States had been tricked again this time.
It is reported that in the early morning of April 19, explosions were heard in the area of Iran's Isfahan Airport and near the 8th base of the Iraqi Air Force. And, at the same time, there were explosions in Iraq and Syria.
However, in the case of Syria and Iran, the official could not determine whether Israel was responsible. Although Israel has not given any explanation at the moment, the Iranian bombing is clearly their "retaliation". And, compared to Iran's air strikes last week, Israel is clearly more ruthless this time.
You must know that Isfahan has a very important nuclear base, and Israel also takes a fancy to this, that is, it wants to strike at Iran's nuclear facilities. Once Iran's nuclear facilities are hit, it will pose quite serious security risks. But when Iran attacked Israel, not only did it not attack its nuclear facilities, but it also used some aging and outdated missile weapons.
Moreover, it has not had a serious impact on Israel, and civilians are not the target of their attacks. Some Iranian officials even revealed that even during the air strikes on Israel, the Iranian government and military have been opening a hotline with the Omani government to contact the United States.
It is precisely because of this that the United States, Britain, France, and other countries can provide timely assistance to Israel. It can be seen from this that Iran has exercised considerable restraint in its attack on Israel. Although the United States has been persuading Israel to give up its "retaliation" in recent days, Israel has never been able to swallow this breath.
And this time Israel suddenly moved, and the United States probably did not react. After all, a U.S. official only publicly revealed yesterday that it is unlikely that Israel will strike back at Iran before the end of this month, because it is now the Passover period in Judaism. Israel originally wanted to launch a blitzkrieg on the second day of Iran's attack, but in the end it abandoned this idea and specifically informed the US side of the matter.
Therefore, the United States did not expect Israel to make a sudden move. It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time that the United States has been tricked by Israel. At the beginning of this month, Israel did not communicate with the United States in advance about the Israeli airstrike on the Iranian diplomatic mission in Syria, but delayed until the last minute to inform the American side, and still used low-level notice. It is intended to cover up the negative effects of this matter.
In fact, the United States is very dissatisfied with Israel's move. On the surface, although the United States strongly supports Israel, in private, the United States also expresses anger at Israel's action against Iran without first consulting them. This time, Israel most likely caught the United States off guard again.
In this respect, it is enough to reflect that Israel and Iran are completely different. Israel only cares about its own interests and face, and does not care about the security of the region at all, not to mention that Iran's retaliation is to protect its own rights and interests, and even if it does, Iran will remain restrained and open and transparent, in order to avoid further escalation of the situation.
Israel's own approach will only lead to a more and more complicated situation in the Middle East. Iran has also said that if Israel makes a move, it will launch a larger response to them "in seconds", and may even use some weapons that have never been used before.
Fortunately, this time, the Iranian air defense forces successfully intercepted the missile over Isfahan, and there were no explosions on the ground for the time being, and the nuclear facilities in the area are also in a safe state, but it is difficult to say whether Israel will stop there. However, what is certain is that if Iran's nuclear facilities are hit, they will inevitably retaliate by striking Israel's nuclear facilities.
In this way, the Middle East region is quite dangerous. Therefore, it is time for the United States to stabilize Israel as soon as possible and prevent them from taking any more aggressive actions.
