Israel binds the next step after attacking Iran

At three o’clock on Friday morning, the sirens crossed Israel and my family in Tel Aviv woke up. As I shuffled the furry kids to the stairwell of the apartment building, I noticed a garbage truck outside continued as usual: loading the bin, unloading the empty garbage, and beeping in the reverse direction. Over the past 18 months, siren have become so frequent that some Israelis have been threatened.

“Brother!” someone shouted through the nearby window. “This is Iran!”

Truck driver rethinks. He stopped in the middle of the street, walked out, and hid in our building and waited for it.

In the Persian Gulf, Israel is conducting complex attacks on Iran’s ability to build nuclear weapons. Fighters attacked Natanz’s nuclear facilities, while other operations killed Iran’s top military general, its leader of the Revolutionary Guard, its head of its air force, and at least six nuclear scientists. News images show Tehran’s apartment buildings emit smoke in specific rooms, indicating the attack is accurate (although Iran says eighty civilians were also killed). An unnamed security source told Channel 12 that the Mossad intelligence service recently established a base in Iran where they retained precise missiles and suicide drones. The news aired the granular black and white footage of masked Mossad agents on the ground, exquisitely setting up the reported explosion drone aimed at destroying the country’s air defense measures. For twenty years, Israel has threatened to attack Iran’s nuclear program. It seemed to appear suddenly within a few minutes. On Israeli TV, military journalists warned that “the days ahead will be complicated.” “We are entering a whole new situation,” declared Yonit Levi, host of Channel 12’s leading news network.

The attack has caused many analysts to ask: Why now? The other few days are very important. The prospects of the Israeli government were controversial as the opposition tried to dissolve the parliament, threatening to overthrow the Israeli government. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu He managed to undermine the attempt, but his alliance appeared fragile. UN overseers also declared Iran breach of nuclear safeguards. Israeli intelligence personnel have long warned that Iran has the edge of “breakthrough” capabilities, the ability to convert its weapon-grade uranium into bombs – but the new declaration is considered unusually abominable.

Recently, the United States and Iran have negotiated their nuclear program on their nuclear program and will resume in Oman next week. Some speculate that the attack aims to undermine negotiations. Raz Zimmt, director of the Iran program at the Israeli National Security Institute, admitted to reporters on Friday that Israel clearly “does not want to reach a disagreement with Iran.” But when I asked him if he explained the timing of the strike, he expressed his disgust. “I certainly don’t think Israel will stop negotiations between Iran and the United States,” he said.

Nadav Eyal, Israeli columnist Yediot Ahronot The newspaper further said that there had been plans to launch an attack between negotiations to deceive Iran’s leadership. He wrote on X that the Israelis “planted the idea that anything could happen” and then before Oman resumed negotiations to get the Iranian supreme commander to put it in the meaning of “false security” before targeting.

Yaakov Amidror, a retired major general of Netanyahu and former national security adviser, insisted that Mossad (he said) had conducted three separate operations in Iran to work on his own schedule. “You can postpone a military operation – you tell the pilot to go home,” he said. “But when you have the Mossad people inside Iran, you can’t postpone it and update it when needed. So the pressure comes from the Mossad side. The longer it’s inside Iran, the danger you’re exposed.” He also pointed out that taking off tools is tactical when Iran is weak. Its agents in Lebanon and Syria were once a powerful force in the region, suffering huge losses in recent battles. In October, a secret Israeli action brought serious compromises to air defense measures. Amiro said that when Netanyahu weighed the threat of the reaction, he did not have to “consider Lebanon’s one hundred thousand missiles.”

Israel continued its attacks on Friday, including a second strike on Natanz at the uranium enhancement site; there are some signs that it also has attractions on Iran’s most fortified sites. An argument breaks down on whether there is any help from the United States. Eyal, Yediot “Nothing will happen without the green light of the United States,” the columnist said in his post, adding that “a strike like this requires U.S. coordination – in Middle Eastern airspace, shared intelligence, ammunition supply chains.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio claimed in a statement that the attack was an “unilateral action” of Israel and that the United States “does not participate in the strike.” But the President Donald Trump It seems almost made them appreciate them and told ABC reporters: “Their blow is as difficult as you’re going to be hit. There’s more. And there’s more.”

Although Iran admits that its “several parts” in Natanz have been damaged, the full range of damage can be long. Former General Amidror believes that the exact result of the strike lies in this. “Israel demonstrates its ability to stop it,” he said. “It doesn’t matter philosophically how much Israel successfully delays its actual program.” He suggested that for Israel, scientists are more important goals than military and revolutionary Guard leaders.

In Israel, the country has achieved success in a complex intelligence operation, especially after spectacularly preventing Hamas-led attacks on October 7, 2023, where people have gained widespread pride. However, the problem broke out. Does this constitute a new war? Or is it an escalation of the twenty-month conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza? Hezbollah announced that it would not launch an attack on Israel. But even without Hezbollah’s help, Iran’s leaders will feel enormous pressure to respond positively.

On Friday, Iran threatened to retaliate and said that “the end of the story will be written by Iran’s hands.” Israeli schools and workplaces, as well as all synagogues, are closed. The public was ordered not to gather and remain near the bomb shelter. Usually, when there are incoming rockets, it is recommended that the Israelis seek cover and wait ten minutes. This time, the head of the Israeli home command said: “We are entering the protected space and we are not leaving.”

Amos Harel, military journalist Harrez, It is suspected that Iran will not only attempt to strike military assets within Israel, but also civilian targets within Israel. Last April, when Iran launched more than 300 drones and missiles on the border, an Israel-led international coalition destroyed 99 percent of them. But Iran still has about two thousand ballistic missiles in its arsenal, with a capacity of about fifty per month. It is not clear how much this capability is retained after Thursday night’s attack, but on Israeli TV, the alarm is still obvious. Will Iran manage to overwhelm Israel this time? How far is it Have done it The attack sets Iran? How many months? Year?
