Iran missiles

Though Trump denied reports of a $300 billion fund slated for Iran, ISW noted that Iranian officials have already promised that funds set to be released as part of the deal would be used to rebuild.

Israeli officials told the Post that if Iran launches an attack, Israel will respond: "There is no scenario in which Iran fires at us and Israel does not respond. That would be unthinkable."

“We still don’t know how many bulbs were destroyed. It could be hundreds, it could be thousands. Only in months or even years will we know the full extent of the damage.”

The strikes were in retaliation for US strikes launched on Tuesday evening, which struck Iranian air defense, ground control stations, and surveillance radar sites, according to CENTCOM.

Iran’s goal is to up the ante in the region, such that it feels it can do what it wants, when it wants. It has been doing this already for 45 years. However, now it feels emboldened.

The latest IDF attacks further reduced these newly restored air defenses, enabling the air force to attack more freely within Iran if the current round of fighting were to continue.

Netanyahu reportedly informed the US of his decision to strike Iran at a very late stage in the planning.

Iran International reported that missile launches toward Israel may have been carried out under pre-established protocols without coordination with Khamenei’s office.

While Israeli officials argue that these events demonstrate that the Iranian nuclear negotiations and the Lebanese arena remain separate tracks, concerns were raised behind closed doors.

Celebrations were seemingly held in Tehran and Kermanshah, where crowds were recorded waving the regime’s flag alongside the flag of Hezbollah, a Lebanon-based arm of the IRGC.
