The situation in the Middle East has entered a new stage, and the dispute between Israel and Iran has a "spiraling" trend, because in the early morning of April 19 local time, explosions have been heard in Isfahan, Iran, and the US media disclosed that US officials claimed that Israeli missiles had hit targets in Iran. In fact, US President Joe Biden warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on April 14 that Israel would not be allowed to retaliate against Iran, and now Israel has a rhythm of not obeying the "arrangement" of the United States.
Iran's Foreign Minister warned Israel not to take any action against Iran on April 18, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abdollahian publicly stated in an interview with the media that Iran will not sit idly by and respond to the greatest extent possible if Israel takes action against Iran to the detriment of Iran's interests. Abdollahian issued a public warning at a time when Israel reiterated its intention to retaliate against Iran, and Israel and Iran have abandoned the original "shadow war" and entered the stage of direct confrontation, because Israel first broke the previous tacit agreement and attacked the Iranian embassy in Syria, thus triggering Iranian air strikes against Israel.
Iran used missiles and drones to launch air strikes on a number of Israeli military targets on April 13, and then Iran retaliated against Israel by declaring "point to point" and hoping that Israel would refrain from further action. Israel is "annoyed and angry" at Iran's "justified and responsible" retaliation, openly accusing Israel of violating "international law", and the IDF has repeatedly publicly threatened to retaliate against Iran. Judging by the information published in the American media, it is not only Iranian targets that have been attacked, but also explosions in Syria and Iraq, so it is very likely that Israel launched air strikes against several targets at the same time.
The US media did not disclose the platform through which Israel delivered precision-guided weapons, only that missiles were used, and from the published information, Iran has a nuclear facility in Isfahan, although it is not clear whether Israel attacked Iran's nuclear facilities. Israel has been trying to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, and to that end it has previously planned to attack Iran's nuclear facilities. Israel has previously used fighter jets to raid Iraq's nuclear reactors from a long range of nuclear weapons, so it is likely that Israel will risk attacking Iran's nuclear program.
In fact, Iran has issued a warning, claiming that it is very aware of Israel's nuclear technology research facilities, which is a red line for Israel, and if Israel attacks Iran's nuclear facilities, Iran will not be polite. In fact, Iran's air raid retaliation on April 13 was very restrained, only a slight attack on Israel's air bases, judging from Iran's actions, it is to end the dispute with Israel, but judging from Israel's retaliatory actions, Israel is to further raise tensions in the Middle East, and in the face of strong opposition from the United States, the Middle East has now fallen into a new crisis.
