Iran has officially raised it’s red flag of Revenge and it is gradually promising to be a troublesome moment between them and Israel.
Tensions are flying high between Israel and Iran following a recent attack launched by the former.
Israel launched large scale military strikes against Iran, targeting nuclear facilities, military infrastructure, and senior officials.
The attacks hit key sites including the Natanz uranium enrichment facility, nuclear sites at Khondab and Khorramabad, and military bases in Tehran.
The strike had also killed top Iranian military leaders like Revolutionary Guard commander Hossein Salami and likely Armed Forces Chief Mohammad Bagheri, as well as nuclear scientists Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani and Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the strikes as a preemptive measure to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, claiming Iran was close to producing warheads.
The operation involved over 200 Israeli fighter jets striking 100 targets, with reports of significant damage to Iran’s nuclear and missile capabilities.

Iran responded by launching about 100 drones toward Israel, which the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) worked to intercept, and promised a harsh retaliation.
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed “severe punishment” for Israel, while Iranian state media reported civilian casualties, including children, and damage to residential areas in Tehran.
The strikes followed months of escalating tensions, including prior Iranian missile attacks on Israel as we reported back in April last year.
