Make no mistake -
Iran did hit 2-3 sensitive military bases in Israel but not in a manner that paralyzed them.

However, sending 110 ballistic is the main event!
They were bold and aggressive!


They couldn’t care less about Biden’s “Don’t!” Speech.

Russian Permanent Representative Nebenznya - at the UN Security Council meeting on attacks on Israel:

“You know very well that an attack on a diplomatic mission is a casus belli under international law. And if Western missions were under attack, you would not hesitate to retaliate and prove your case in this room. Because for you everything that concerns Western missions and Western citizens is sacred and must be protected.
But when it comes to other states, their rights, including the right to self-defense, and their citizens, that is different, as you like to say. This is where your favorite arguments about lack of information, legal casuistry and the like come into play.
Today in the Security Council there is such a parade of hypocrisy and double standards of the West that it is uncomfortable to watch”

Zelensky called on Western countries to protect Ukraine the same way they protected Israel during the recent Iranian missile attack, noting Israel would have been torn apart if not for united front

“By defending Israel, the free world has demonstrated that this kind of unity is not only possible, but completely effective. The decisive actions of the allies prevented the success of terror and the loss of infrastructure and forced the aggressor to cool down. The same is possible in protecting Ukraine from terror, which, like Israel, is not a NATO member. And this does not require activation of Article 5, only political will is enough,” he said.

US reports:

President Biden urges Netanyahu to exercise restraint, but promised that he will not prevent an Israeli attack, and will not impose sanctions or harm the State of Israel in any way due to its desire to deter its enemies.

They also added that the American concern is divided into 2:
1. A harsh and disproportionate Israeli response on Iranian soil that will lead the entire region to conflagration.
2. A more severe Iranian response to come that will also target American forces stationed throughout the Middle East.
Apparently because of this issue it is important for the Americans to make it clear that they oppose the talk and do not take part in it.

The American administration has actually ruled out the possibility of using the US Armed Forces to intercept Russian missiles and drones used during a special military operation in Ukraine, despite Washington’s participation in repelling Iran’s strike on Israel.

"I knew this question would come up. Look, we're talking about different conflicts, different airspace, different threat landscapes," John Kirby, the White House National Security Council's strategic communications coordinator, said at a regular briefing for reporters when asked. , why doesn’t the United States start intercepting Russian missiles and drones used during the SMO

The Chief of Staff at the Nevatim base:

Re: World News! Events Happening Around The World by HolinessForever: 8:53pm On Apr 15
The unprecedented interception percentages were achieved, among other things, thanks to early preparation - in the event of a surprise attack, likely more drones and cruise missiles would hit Israel.

Ballistic missiles can be dealt with more or less with the same success even when they are launched by surprise, even though their flight time from Iran is the shortest, only about fifteen minutes - this is because the “Arrow” array is on standby 24/7.


On the other hand, with UAVs and cruise missiles, whose flight time is quite long, there is a problem of time: it takes many hours to equip dozens of fighter jets with air-to-air missiles, refuel them, launch them into the air, pick up refueling planes, control planes, etc.

In such a situation, some of the UAVs and cruise missiles will penetrate - another reason why it is forbidden to "normalize" the Iranian attack.

The publication in the American media according to which about 50% of Iran's ballistic missiles failed and fell on the way is not true - less fell, more were intercepted!

The leader of the Republican majority in the US Congress, Congressman Steve Scalise, called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this evening and expressed his support for any decision Israel makes in light of the Iranian attack.

Prime Minister Netanyahu thanked Majority Leader Scalise for his warm support, and made it clear that Israel will do everything necessary to defend itself.

Majority Leader Scalise informed Prime Minister Netanyahu of his initiative to advance in Congress in the coming days a series of resolutions against Iran and in favor of Israel, and the Prime Minister thanked him for this.
