Israel says it intercepted most of Iran’s missiles with US help

In a statement, the military praised the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s missile attack on Israel. The action was supported by the Iranian army and the Ministry of Defense.

The General Staff warns that if the aggressor regime acts to retaliate, it must expect the destruction of its infrastructure in the occupied Palestinian territories on a massive and comprehensive scale (…) And if countries supporting the regime, including the US, directly intervene in the violation and attack on Islamic Iran, their centers and interests throughout the region will be simultaneously confronted with the decisive attack by the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard threatens Israel

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard threatened to carry out “destructive attacks” if Israel responded to the missile attack. “If the Zionist regime reacts to Iranian operations, it will face devastating attacks,” declared the Revolutionary Guards, Iran’s elite army, in a statement carried by the Fars news agency.

Previously, the United States had warned of an “imminent” attack by Iran against Israel. Iranian media released images online of what were presented as missiles being fired toward Israel.

This is the second attack that Iran has launched against Israel since the one carried out in April. At the time, Tehran claimed to have acted in “self-defense” after an attack destroyed its consulate in Damascus, where seven of its soldiers died. “By launching dozens of ballistic missiles, the Revolutionary Guards’ aerospace force targeted important security and military targets in the heart of the occupied territories,” the Revolutionary Guards said.
