Between Iran and Israel, a night of missile exchange – Liberation

Tehran and Tel Aviv lived almost a tragically similar night. Punctuated anti -aircraft sirens and unpublished explosions. The ballistic protection systems turned at full speed for a good part of the evening and until late at night. The sky has constelled with glowing impacts and smoky streaks.

It was Iran that first launched hostilities in response to The unprecedented attack from the previous nightwhere Tsahal has hired more than 200 planes and drones assaulting military and nuclear sites of the Islamic Republic. Tehran therefore pulled dozens of missiles on the Hebrew state, some of whom have managed to thwart The deemed insurmountable iron domethe anti -aircraft defense of Israel. This time the explosions pierced the sky of Tel Aviv to run aground in the street. They would have been at least 33 injured and killed a sixty -something woman according to Israeli police.

The Iranian supreme guide, Ali Khamenei, immediately justified his response by accusing the Hebrew state of having « Launched a war ». Also ensuring that his country « Will not close the eyes » and that the Israeli attack will lead the country « To his ruin ». « Nowhere in Israel will be sure, our revenge will be painful »immediately increased a senior Iranian official quoted by the Reuters agency. Israelis « Will pay a high price for killing our commanders, our scientists and our population »he added then that, in the evening, the Iranian ambassador to the UN Amir Saeid Iravani advanced an assessment of 78 dead and more than 320 injured in the strikes of the day before.

In an escalation as verbal as military, Benyamin Netanyahu immediately reacted. The Israeli Prime Minister called on the Iranians to get up against the « Maleficent and oppressive diet » who governs them, and assured that there would be more strikes « future »confirming that his operation was far from over.

They materialized a little after midnight, making the sky of Tehran blush which heard the roar of Israeli drones until dawn. Mehrabad airport in the west of the capital was notably affected while Iran was preparing for a new response. The anti -aircraft sirens have therefore stopped ringing in echo at 2,000 km away. And the inhabitants of Tel Aviv were summoned at least twice and in the heart of the night to return to their shelters.

A communication battle was also engaged between the two rival powers On the impact of Israeli strikes against Iranian nuclear installations. The Israeli army announced in the evening on Friday to have « Deputy » A uranium factory in Ispahan, in the center of Iran. But the Iranian nuclear organization immediately replied that the damage on these facilities as on the Fordo site, south of Tehran, were minors.

Regarding one of the main targets of Friday’s attack, the Natanz uranium enrichment pilot center in the center of Iran, the International Atomic Energy Agency (AIAA) ensures that the surface part has been « Destroyed »while quoting Iranian information,, but that« No increase in radiation levels » has not been observed.

These exchanges of night shots do not lead anything good about what is more and more like a real open war between two major powers in the Middle East. Iran qualifying, by the voice of its Minister of Foreign Affairs Abbas Arabhchi, the attack of Israel of « War declaration ». And Tel Aviv, through his Minister of Defense Israel Katz, of accusing Tehran of having crossed « Red lines » By pulling missiles from urban centers.

Friday, to justify his offensive, Tsahal said he had information proving that Tehran was approaching « No non-return » Towards the atomic bomb. According to the Israeli army, « The Iranian regime had a concrete plan to destroy the State of Israel ». The Islamic Republic denies and defends its right to develop a civil nuclear program.

« Enough of the escalation, it’s time for it to stop. Peace and diplomacy must prevail ”was outraged on X the secretary general of the UN Antonio Guterres in a cry of the heart which unfortunately seems very insufficient to put an end to the deadly mechanics on the move.
