Israel escalates military strikes on Iranian sites, claiming new confidence

dawn.com — October 28, 2024, 03:01 AM UTC

Summary: Israel has escalated its military actions against Iran, conducting airstrikes on 20 Iranian military sites from Iraqi airspace. This marks the first time Israel has openly claimed responsibility for such attacks, reflecting increased confidence and support from the West, particularly the U.S.

The strikes targeted Iran's radar and missile facilities, aiming to weaken its defenses. Iran acknowledged the attacks but downplayed their impact, with its Supreme Leader warning against underestimating the situation while criticizing Israel's claims of success.

International reactions have been mixed, with the U.S. supporting Israel, while the UK and France urged Iran to show restraint. Iran hinted at possible de-escalation if its demands regarding Gaza and Lebanon are met, amid growing complexities in Middle Eastern dynamics influenced by China and Russia.
