The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced the end of the attack on Iran in just a few hours. The short-range attack, which began early on Saturday (October 26), signaled that Israel may heed US warnings. Israel's close ally, the United States, said Saturday's attack on Iran was a self-defense exercise. The British media reported the news.
Israel's military spokesman said of Saturday's attack that it was their right and responsibility to respond. Their defensive and offensive capabilities are fully activated.
Iran launched about 200 ballistic missiles at Israel about a month ago on October 1. As a result, Israel's retaliatory attack on Iran was expected.
Iranian state media confirmed that explosions were heard west of Tehran. However, it is not yet clear which exact target has been hit. However, some media reported that some military bases in the west and southwest of the capital, Tehran, were targeted.
The Iranian press is trying to play down the impact of the attack. It is believed that accurate information about the actual incident will gradually emerge through the Iranian authorities.
But Israel may soon release details of its attack. And it depends on whether they plan to launch another attack.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon said in a press briefing that the United States was aware of Israel's plans in advance and that the United States had no involvement in the operation.
Washington was trying to prevent the conflict between Israel and Iran from escalating into an all-out war.
According to reports so far, Israel may have curbed some ambitious plans to launch an all-out attack on Iran, perhaps heeding Washington's warnings.
But now it will depend on the Iranian leadership how they respond.
