Iran abruptly announced the closure of several airports in the early hours of April 19, after the US media claimed that Israel had retaliated against Iran, according to US media reports, the Israeli military had previously notified the United States that it would retaliate against Iran within 24 to 48 hours, for which the US media publicly claimed on April 19 that Israel had used missiles to attack targets in Iran. Although the US media has repeatedly claimed that Israel has retaliated, the Israeli military has not responded, and judging from the information released by Iran, Iran has carried out a counterattack against small drones in the air, for which there are explosions, and Iran claims that no targets have been attacked.
Iran's response is in stark contrast to the American media's hype, which did not admit to being attacked by Israel when the United States made a high-profile statement that Israel had retaliated, but at the same time reacted differently in Iraq. In the early hours of April 20, the base in Kalsu, located in the northern province of Babylon in Iraq, was raided, and there were already casualties. The US Central Command announced that it had nothing to do with the attack on the Iraqi base, and that the US military was not involved in the relevant operations. Prior to the attack on the Iraqi military base, Iraq had announced that Israeli missiles had fallen into Iraqi territory.
Judging from the information released by Iraq, Israel has projected a simulated air-launched ballistic missile, and in fact, if a warhead is installed, this simulated air-launched ballistic missile has a powerful assault capability and can even achieve a hypersonic missile strike mode. Israel has developed an air-launched ballistic missile delivered by F-15 fighter jets to provide a simulated missile for testing Israel's Arrow-2/3 anti-missile missile.
It was also from the air-launched ballistic missile that fell into Iraqi territory, which has revealed that the Israeli Air Force entered Iraqi territory on April 19 to carry out operations, but judging from the information released by Iran, Israel did not reach its goal. But judging from satellite photos, it is very likely that Iran's S300 anti-aircraft missiles were attacked, as there are already signs of the removal of the relevant missiles. Both Israel and Iran are currently quite low-key about the April 19 operation, so it is likely that both sides will want to return to the "shadow war" mode and avoid direct conflict. While Iran was downplaying the April 19 attack, Iraq was attacked, and Kalsu was a Shiite militia in Iraq and therefore has close ties to Iran.
Judging from the attack on the Kalsu base in the northern province of Babylon, Israel has a rhythm of daring to pinch soft persimmons, and Israel does not dare to launch large-scale strikes against targets in Iran, but dares to strike at targets in Iraq, so as to weaken Iran's influence. In the past, the U.S. military had attacked the Shiite forces in Iraq, and now there are military bases in Iraq that have been attacked, so the United States immediately distanced itself from relations, so Israel is the most suspicious. Judging from the surprise attack on Iraq's Kalsu, Iraq's air defense is useless, and at the same time, Jordan has also provided Israel with airspace, thus playing a very disgraceful role.
