New information about the Iranian-Israeli conflict presented by this episode of Samri Channel.
An Israeli government source said that Netanyahu held a war cabinet meeting for the second time in less than 24 hours to discuss how to respond to the attack launched by Iran on Israel with drones and missiles. Israeli Defense Forces Chief of Staff Herzi Halevy said Israel would respond, but did not provide details. Speaking from the Nafatim air base in southern Israel, which sustained some damage in the Iranian attack on Saturday evening, he added, "Firing such a large number of missiles, cruise missiles, and drones on Israeli territory will be met with a response." The prospect of Israel's response has alarmed many Iranians, who are already facing economic hardship and tougher social and political restrictions since the protests that took place in the Islamic Republic in 2022 and 2023.

On the other hand, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi warned that “the slightest measure against Iran’s interests” would be met with a “massive, widespread and painful” response. In a phone call with the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, on Monday, the Iranian president said that the attack on Israel this weekend was an act of “legitimate defense,” as he described it. Ibrahim Raisi added: “We have already officially announced that Operation (The True Promise) was successfully implemented with the aim of punishing the aggressor.”

The Iranian readout of the call published on Ebrahim Raisi's website said:
“We now firmly declare that the slightest measure against Iran’s interests will certainly be met with a massive, widespread and painful response against all its perpetrators.” In a Qatari statement published by Qatar News Agency (QNA), Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad stressed “the necessity of reducing all forms of escalation and avoiding the expansion of the conflict in the region.” The Qatari agency added, "During the call, the two sides stressed the necessity of a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the occupied Palestinian territories in order to achieve a permanent and final solution to the Palestinian issue in order to achieve lasting and comprehensive peace in the region."

Finally, the US Central Military Command (Centcom) announced yesterday, Sunday, that the United States, with the support of European destroyers, was able to destroy “more than 80” drones and at least 6 ballistic missiles designated to strike Israel from Iran and Yemen during the Iranian attack.

According to an American military official, about 100 medium-range ballistic missiles, more than 30 cruise missiles, and at least 150 attack drones were launched from Iran, targeting Israel. The Israeli army, for its part, counted more than 350 projectiles, and said that 99% of them were destroyed. Two American ships present in the region, the USS Arleigh Burke and the USS Carney, destroyed 6 missiles, before aircraft intervened, and in turn destroyed more than 70 Iranian drones. A Patriot missile battery shot down a cruise missile not far from the Iraqi city of Erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan. The American forces also destroyed "a ballistic missile on the launch vehicle, and destroyed 7 drones on the ground before launching them into areas of Yemen controlled by the Iranian-backed Houthi group," according to Centcom.

You nailed it bro. That's what I've been saying. Had all these countries condemn isreal strike on the Iranian consulate, it wouldn't had been like this. Saudi for instance didn't condemn isreal yet participated in shooting iran missiles down. All what this superpowers are doing is risky
