According to Israel's "Jerusalem Post," after two rounds of cabinet meetings, Israel still did not heed the persuasion of Western countries and dispatched warplanes to strike at many targets in Iran, Syria, and Iraq.
Iran and Israel, both sides are very restrained and do not exacerbate the contradictions
According to Lebanese media reports, Iranian air defense forces intercepted 5 targets in the sky over Isfahan. Israel, however, struck seven targets in Iran. Explosions were heard over Isfahan airport and Shekari airbase, and Israeli missile strikes were not detected in Isfahan.
Let's just say, it's not Israel's style to swallow your anger. In the wake of Iran's massive missile and drone attacks on Israel, which only injured a little Israeli girl, Iran claimed that if Israel did not retaliate, the matter would be over.
Iran is obviously thinking too much about Israel and not retaliating after being attacked by Iran on its own soil, which is not Israel's style.
In the past, Iran has often used proxies to attack Israel, and Israel is clearly tired of such proxy wars. This kind of game of seeing only a group of monkeys and no tigers is very hurtful for Israel. Striking the Iranian consulate in Syria could force Iran out, and sure enough, things went the way Israel thought.
Both Iran and Israel are now more restrained and have largely no large-scale casualties.
Iran denied a terrorist attack, and Israel declined to comment
Israel attacked Isfahan, an important nuclear industrial center in Iran, but Israel did not attack Iran's nuclear equipment. After being attacked by Israel, Israel was warned not to attack Iran's nuclear equipment, otherwise Iran would develop nuclear weapons to defend itself. This has the meaning of a request in it, although the words are more hard. Israel did not attack Iran's nuclear facilities after being warned, or Israel did not intend to attack Iran's nuclear facilities in the first place. Iran has gone against the grain, claiming that everything is business as usual near Isfahan's airport, air base and nuclear equipment in Isfahan, and has provided a video. This is not like the atrocities that were so hyped up in the Gaza war. According to Taiwan's China Times News Network CNN, there are even senior Iranian commanders who claim that the cause of the explosion was that the air defense system was firing at unidentified flying objects. Iran has not accused Israel of doing this, and the Israeli side has not taken a position on this.
What happened happened was that the Israeli military stated that the military operation against Iran was "limited". Iran simply said that there was no such thing, and both sides had the will to stop.
What kind of signal does Israel want to send by attacking Iran's nuclear powerhouse Isfahan but not attacking nuclear equipment?
Israel does not want the situation to escalate further, and it has only hit military targets, not civilian targets in Iran, nor has it hurt anyone, which provides the possibility of international mediation. Israel wants to tell Iran that it has the capability to attack Iranian nuclear equipment, but Israel does not want to do so.
With no major losses in Iran and Iran claiming that it had not encountered air strikes, both sides took it as soon as they saw it, and both sides proved that they were not cowards, which was perfect.
