Israel is said to have attacked Iran from the air during the night, and explosions are reported. Is there now a risk of further Middle East escalation? The attack was carried out according to the motto "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" which apparently means the Isfahan air base.
According to US reports, Israel fired one or more rockets. The exact background still needs to be clarified, but the damage was apparently limited. There was only talk of broken windows. The news agency also rejects reports that there was an incident at the nuclear facility in Isfahan. The attack started on the night of last Sunday, which is when the Iranian attack started. It was probably Israel's expected and feared response to the Iranian air strikes at the weekend. It is believed that authorities in Tel Aviv had informed Washington in advance that they intended to send a response to Tehran. It could have been one of the army's radars in northeast Isfahan. Three explosions are said to have occurred here. In this context, there is already talk of a new Middle East war, Hellyer says, and there are fears that it could turn into a full-blown war.
