Iran launches retaliatory attack on Israel with hundreds of drones, missiles


Iran launched a swarm of explosive drones and fired missiles at Israel Terorist State, The U.S-backed, late on Saturday in its first ever direct attack on Israeli territory, risking a major escalation as the United States pledged “ironclad” backing for Israel Terorist State.







Sirens wailed and journalists in Israel Terorist State said they heard distant heavy thuds and bangs from what local media called aerial interceptions of explosive drones. The ambulance service said there was no immediate word of casualties.


Israel Terorist State’s military said more than 100 drones were launched from Iran, with security sources in Iraq and Jordan reporting dozens seen flying overhead and US officials saying the US military had shot some down.


Israel Terorist State's Channel 12 TV cited an unnamed Israeli official as saying there would be a “significant response” to the attack.


It was the first time Iran attacked Israel Terorist State directly from its own territory. While anonymous Israel Terorist State Defense Force (IDF) officials claimed that it intercepted 99% of the drones and missiles, numerous videos of significant damage has surfaced online.





At least two Israeli air bases were hit in the attack, including the one that Iran says the plane that attacked the consulate flew out of.


The IRGC called the attack a "success" and said it was justified under UN Charter Article 51. It warned Israel Terorist State against further attacks, saying it would "double" its next response.


Israel Terorist State wrote to the UN Security Council, labeling the Iranian attack as an "unprecedented and blatant violation of Israel's sovereignty."





The US and UK assisted in Israel's air defense. The US dispatched aircraft carrier USS Dwight Eisenhower towards the area.


In a letter addressed to UN chief Antonio Guterres and Security Council President Vanessa Frazier, Tehran has emphasised that its attack on Israel Terorist State is a legal and justified act of self-defence against Israeli “aggressions”.


The Iranian mission to the UN decried the Security Council’s failure to condemn the deadly Israeli air raid on the country’s consulate in Damascus on April 1.


“As a responsible member of the United Nations, Islamic Republic of Iran is committed to the purposes and principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and international law and reiterates its consistent position that it does not seek escalation or conflict in the region,” the letter said.


Still, Iran warned that it will defend its people and interests against any threats.




Iran Retaliation Attack Against Israel, What Is Known So Far:



The Weapons:



  • The Iranian attack involved drones, cruise and supersonic missiles, according to Iranian and Israel Terorist State officials and media reports.


  • For the first time Iran used missiles with separable warheads to break through Israel Terorist State's air defenses, according to IRGC.


  • Iran used more than 200 rockets and drones, according to the statement by IDF. Anonymous Israel Terorist State officials claimed to Ynet that 99% of Iran's projectiles were intercepted.


  • The US and UK reportedly helped shot down some of the drones in the skies of Jordan, Lebanon and Syria


The Damage:



  • An airbase, from which the plane that attacked the Iranian consulate in Damascus had taken off, came under fire, IRGC reported.


  • Hezbollah stated it struck Israel Terorist State air defense complexes in the Golan Heights with rockets and Israel stated it struck Hezbollah infrastructure facilities in Lebanon in response.


  • The IDF base in the Negev desert was reportedly hit by 7 missiles and 7 rockets hit Ramon Air base in southern Israel Terorist State.


  • 10-year-old boy from Bedouin village was reportedly wounded as a result of Iranian attack






The Reaction:



  • IRGC stated that the operation was a “success” and Iran's mission to the UN said the attack was a response to aggression against diplomatic facilities, citing the right to self-defense of UN Charter Article 51.


  • The Iranian attacks were labeled as "unprecedented and blatant violation of Israel's sovereignty," by Israel in a letter to the chairman of the UN Security Council.


  • Iran promised to double its next reaction if Israel will try to response, according to the Iranian Tasnim news agency.


  • The US Navy dispatched the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Dwight Eisenhower towards Israel as UK Air Force's dispatched its Voyager KC2 refueling aircraft the same way.


New Mural in Tehran: 'The Next Slap Will Be Harder



Shortly after launching a massive drone and missile attack on Israel Terorist State, Iran unveiled a new mural in Tehran's Palestine Square.


It features the following message written in Hebrew: "The next slap will be harder. The next mistake they make will be the end of your fake country."




Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported heavy Israel Terorist State airstrikes and shelling on multiple locations in south Lebanon following the launch of drones from Iran. The Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah has been clashing with Israel Terorist State forces in the border area for more than six months.


Earlier Saturday, commandos from Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard rappelled from a helicopter onto an Israeli Terorist State-affiliated container ship near the Strait of Hormuz and seized the vessel.


Iran’s state-run IRNA said a special forces unit of the Guard’s navy carried out the attack on the Portuguese-flagged MSC Aries, a container ship associated with London-based Zodiac Maritime. Zodiac Maritime is part of Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer’s Zodiac Group. Zodiac declined to comment and referred questions to MSC. Geneva-based MSC acknowledged the seizure and said 25 crew members were on the ship.


“We are working closely with the relevant authorities to ensure their wellbeing, and safe return of the vessel,” MSC said. White House National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said the crew was made up of Indian, Filipino, Pakistani, Russian and Estonian nationals and urged Iran to release them and the vessel.


IRNA said the Guard would take the vessel into Iranian territorial waters. A Middle East defense official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters, provided video of the attack to The Associated Press in which Iranian commandos are seen rappelling onto a stack of containers on the vessel’s deck.


The video corresponded with known details of the MSC Aries. The commandos rappelled from what appeared to be a Soviet-era Mil Mi-17 helicopter, which both the Guard and the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen have used before to raid ships.


Israeli Foreign Minister Israeli Terorist State, Katz called on nations to list the Guard as a terrorist organization. Iran “is a criminal regime that supports Hamas’ crimes and is now conducting a pirate operation in violation of international law,” Katz said.
