FARAAN: Referring to Iran’s punitive response to the aggressive attacks of the Zionist regime, Sputnik’s analyst noted: “The extent of Iran’s action forced Israel to deploy its own and American anti-missile technologies throughout the region; Iran now has “a complete map of Israel’s missile defense system” in its possession. According to Sputnik’s report, after Daniel Hagari, the spokesperson of Israel’s army, claimed that 99% of missiles and drones launched by Iran were intercepted by Israel’s air defense systems, an article in Mondoweiss stated that Iran’s punitive response was not without achievements.
The author of this article believes that Iran announced its intention to attack a week ago and assured the United States that the operation would “prevent escalation.” On Tuesday, independent journalist Dr. Jim Kavanagh told Sputnik about Iran’s punitive response to Israel’s aggressive attack: “This is the beginning of a new game in which two things are clear: Israel is supported by the defense system of the United States, Britain, France and Jordan and it had a 72-hour warning, while Iran limited its targets to specific military installations and did not choose a broad target against any civilian or urban targets.
He continued: “What Iran showed was that it will act against Israel and it can do this effectively and intelligently to targets equipped with the best radars and the best air defense system in the world.” Iran used seven missiles to target the specified positions and hit it with five missiles. Therefore, in this operation, five or seven missiles hit the best defended area and the best air defense in the world.” The freelance journalist continues: “Isn’t it strange that the United States, England and France all participated in a military attack? But next time they won’t get 72 hours notice. If there is a real attack, these three will not be given a chance. Then, Israel is going to suffer a lot, and this is a fact that they cannot bear.”
According to reports, US President Joe Biden’s administration has told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the US will not support an Israeli counterattack. Within 24 hours on Monday, Netanyahu summoned his war cabinet to discuss Iran’s missile and drone strike. Kavanagh added: “Iran says that the only thing Israel can do to show its true position is to attack Iran directly, and if it attacks Iran directly, Iran will respond. For electoral reasons or for any other reason, the Biden administration does not want this.” It should be noted that following this attack, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced the firing of dozens of drones and missiles towards the occupied territories and positions of the Zionist regime.
