https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/01/politics/iran-missile-attack-israel/index.htmlMissiles have been launched from Iran toward Israel, according to a statement from Israel’s military.Earlier on Tuesday the White House warned that Iran was poised to launch a ballistic missile attack on Israel soon, instantly ratcheting up fears of all-out war in the region.In a statement released mid-morning, the White House said it had “indications that Iran is preparing to imminently launch a ballistic missile attack against Israel,” adding the United States was “actively supporting defensive preparations to defend Israel against this attack.”“A direct military attack from Iran against Israel will carry severe consequences for Iran,” a senior White House official said in a statement.Israel assessed that Iran was likely to attack three Israeli air bases and an intelligence base located just north of Tel Aviv, a person briefed on the matter said.The intelligence base in Glilot was evacuated Tuesday afternoon, the person said, and the Israeli military has put contingency plans for the safety of personnel at those bases into effect.The US warned Israel that an attack would likely come within the next 12 hours, the person said.An Israeli source told CNN shortly after the White House’s warning that intense diplomacy is happening behind the scenes.
After a year of heightened tensions between Israel and Iran’s proxies in the region — including Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen — a potentially imminent attack by Iran toward Israel could further tip the region toward full-scale conflict.US and Arab diplomats are already concerned about what might happen after Iran’s expected attack, including the scale of Israel’s response. One major concern on their mind is Israel possibly using a forthcoming Iranian strike to respond by striking inside Iran.“There is no place in Iran that the long arm of Israel cannot reach, and that’s true of the entire Middle East,” Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said during his speech at the United Nations last week.The US is prepared to do whatever it can to help Israel intercept anything Iran directs its way, similar to how the US offered its assistance in April, when Iran launched a wave of drones and missiles towards Israel — the vast majority of which were successfully intercepted, a US official said.The US anticipates attack from Iran against Israel could be similar in scope and scale to the one in April, a US official told CNN.The US warned Israel early Tuesday morning ET (midday Israel time) that Iran was poised to launch an attack, according to a person familiar with the matter. The warning between the two countries came several hours before the White House announced publicly that it had indications Iran was preparing an attack.
The official said Iran has been postured to move quickly in an attack. After the onslaught of drones and missiles fired toward Israel in April, many of Iran’s assets remained in position.Tensions between Israel and Iran have ratcheted up significantly in recent weeks as Israel has stepped up its efforts against Hezbollah, an Iran-backed militant group, and Israel on Monday launched a ground operation in southern Lebanon.Netanyahu asked Israelis to “stand together” and keep following the frontline commands as fears of an imminent attack from Iran grow.Netanyahu said Israel is in the throes of a “campaign against Iran’s axis of evil” and made specific demands from the Israeli public.“What I ask of you is two things: One - to strictly obey the directives of the frontline command, it saves lives. And second - to stand together,” Netanyahu said in a statement.The United States is “tracking events in the Middle East very closely” and “is committed to Israel’s defense,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Tuesday.“We’re watching developments, as I said, very carefully at this moment,” Blinken said in brief remarks alongside his Moroccan counterpart. Blinken did not make any specific reference to Iran or the potential attack.The US Embassy in Israel directed all US government personnel and family members “to shelter in place until further notice” because of “the current security situation,” it said in a security alert Tuesday.“This is provided for your information as you make your own security plans,” the alert said, without mentioning the specific warnings of an imminent attack from Iran.
https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/israel-lebanon-war-hezbollah-10-1-24-intl-hnk/index.htmlThe Iranian Mission to the United Nations said Tuesday afternoon that Tehran’s response has “been duly carried out,” following a barrage of missiles launched at Israel.“Iran’s legal, rational, and legitimate response to the terrorist acts of the Zionist regime—which involved targeting Iranian nationals and interests and infringing upon the national sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran—has been duly carried out,” the Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations said in a post on X.The mission said that if Israel should “dare to respond or commit further acts of malevolence, a subsequent and crushing response will ensue.”The mission added that “regional states and the Zionists’ supporters are advised to part ways with the regime.”
US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are in the Situation Room at the White House “monitoring the Iranian attack against Israel,” National Security Council spokesperson Sean Savett posted on X.Savett wrote that Biden and Harris are receiving updates from their national security team. The president “directed the US military to aid Israel’s defense against Iranian attacks & shoot down missiles targeting Israel,” he added.
The Israeli military’s initial estimate is that Iran fired 180 “projectiles” at Israel.“At this moment, we understand it was approximately 180 projectiles,” an Israel Defense Forces spokesperson told CNN. “But this is not final, and (is) an initial estimate.” Israel has plans to retaliate in response to Iran’s missile attack, the Israel Defense Forces spokesperson said Tuesday.“This attack will have consequences,” Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said in a statement. “We have plans, and we will operate at the place and time we decide.”Some Iranian missiles fired at Israel Tuesday night made direct impact in central and southern Israel, the Israeli military spokesperson said.“We carried out many interceptions,” Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said in a statement. “There are a few impacts in the center and some more in the south. At this stage, we are assessing the situation. We are not aware of injuries.” There were no injuries following Iran’s attack on Israel on Tuesday, Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari has said.“There was a serious attack on us, and there will be serious consequences,” Hagari said Tuesday.He added this was not the first time Israel had faced a threat from Iran.“We are ready for them,” he said.

Finally someone is doing something about Israel's rampage throughout the ME.
>>1348271>“A direct military attack from Iran against Israel will carry severe consequences for Iran,” a senior White House official said in a statement.Why the fuck does the Biden White House protect Israel from the consequences of their actions?
>>1348329Because Israel dictates US foreign policy.>howJews created a modified bible and proliferated it around the United States. A huge number of US Christians now believe that the people of Israel are God's chosen people (see: Scofield Bible), so they are helping Israel in an attempt to speed-run the apocalypse. Mossad also runs sex trafficking rings with the CIA to blackmail politicians.
>>1348298>>1348316>>1348329>>1348334You are a fake and a fraud
>>1348334>Jews created a modified bible and proliferated it around the United StatesThe KJV?
who could have thought that making 200,000 Lebanese homeless since in thehe last four days would be viewed negatively?
>>1348359Specifically the Scofield bible. It was a King James Bible with annotations in the margins. This is the book that popularized the whole "Jews are God's chosen people" bullshit.
>>1348334>>1348370>a certain someone born of a Nazarene Jewess>Bris, Bar Mitzvah'd, the works>was referred to by his disciples as 'Rabbi'>INRI>Children who go to Sunday School are Professors of Theology by just knowing the latterOr you and all who claim to be Christains but are antisemites can admit that Jesus, and thus God, never existed in the first place. Choose wisely. *Tips Trilby*
>>1348375Big oof moment famChristianity came from second temple judaism, which is different from modern judaism. The second temple was destroyed after the Bar Kokhba rebellion. Jesus predicted that the Pharisees would antagonize the romans, so he forced his followers to flee Israel. When the jews rebelled, the Romans came and put every jew to the sword. They burned their holy scrolls on the temple mount and chased thew jews that remained from Israel. This was the first diaspora. After that, the jews were forced to reassemble their religion from the oral tradition; what encouraged them to kill Jesus in the first place. Jewish history really does make a lot more sense when you realize that it's just one long series of God responding to their 'we're technically not violating the rules' bullshit by technically not smiting them.
>>1348375>a fuckload of uninformed nonsense>*Tips Trilby*Of course you're one of those trilby wearing fat faggots, as if there was ever any doubt.
>>1348568>can't counter that>reduced to ad hominemsOf course you're one of those who have conceded, as if there was any doubt.
>>1348329>>1348316>Israel's rampage throughout the ME>the consequences of their actions?Hezbollah has been launching missiles at Israel for quite a while now with little retaliation from Israel. This move makes perfect sense, especially considering how after their last conflict Hezbollah said something along the lines of "if we knew how bad it would get, we would have never gotten involved.I wouldn't be surprised if afterwards, if Iran tries some more shit they will go after their nuclear program, considering they've shown they are capable of striking it after the last Iranian missile attack.
>>1348776>with little retaliation from IsraelYou mean besides Israel genociding Palestinians for the last 80 years?
Did they genocide your reading comprehension and common sense too?
>>1348780meant for >>1348777
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/national-security-daily/2024/10/01/irans-emotional-retaliation-against-israel-00181897Iran launched a widely expected ballistic missile attack against Israel. But it’s unclear why Tehran calculated that now was the right time to attack and exact vengeance for several high-profile killings of its proxy commanders in recent months.For one, as former Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs DAVID SCHENKER told NatSec Daily, there was little strategic upside for Iran to attack and risk entangling the U.S. — Israel’s largest benefactor and closest ally — further in the region.But Schenker argued that Israel’s killings of Hamas leader ISMAIL HANIYEH and Hezbollah leader HASSAN NASRALLAH have humiliated Iran and that leaders in Tehran are responding “emotionally” not “strategically.”“Perhaps this [attack] can stem the growing perception of Iranian weakness, of decline, that they reached the high point with the degradation of both Hamas and the crown jewel of the Resistance Front, Hezbollah, and that they have to do something to reestablish themselves as a serious regional power,” said Schenker.
The arrogance of Muslim terrorists will bring about their own demise. Iran must fall, as they have funded global terrorists. Hamas and Hezbollah are funded by Iran and are at war with Israel. This conflict is spreading and has been spreading ideologically. Muslim sermons are becoming increasingly extreme. We will either face a global jihad, as Iran continues to fund terrorists, or a war with Iran. Bringing an end to Iran is in the best interest of everyone.
>>1349009If Israel just stopped genociding each and every neighbor nobody would be upset in that region anymore.
>>1348271lmao nice. get owned israel.
>>1349023Well, Hezbollah and Iran could always stop being terrorists. The US-supported Sinn Fein rejected the bullet in favor of the ballot. No more IRA terrorism in Northern Ireland.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azerbaijan%E2%80%93Israel_relations>Azerbaijan has been strengthening its ties with Israel since 2011, and in 2022, it announced that it would be opening an embassy in Israel, marking the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two statesAzerbaijan is the only other country that is mainly Shia Muslim, So Iran doesn't have the right to any excuses.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel%E2%80%93Jordan_relations>Jordan helped Israel by intercepting Iranian drones during the strikes in Israel in April 2024Thus any other Islamic country never had the right to any excuses whatsoever.
>>1349027Israel could always stop stealing land which would likely stop the "terrorism" against them.
>Sinn Fein stopped supporting terrorists: IRA>No more terrorism in Northern Ireland>Azerbaijan and Jordan don't care about the irrelevant shill for terrorists that is >>1349030 nor its retarded opinionsIf they don't, nobody else has the right to any excuses.
>>1349009>The arrogance of Muslim terrorists will bring about their own demise.Didn't israel just set off pager bombs across Syria and Lebanon? Like, isn't that definitionally a terrorist attack under international law?
>>1349037Terrorizing the terrorists. If Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran can't take it, they never had the right to dish it out in the first place.
>>1348824>>1349009Well it's a shitty situation for Iran to be in. they know they have to launch this attack to not appear spinelessthey know Israel will also have to respond to not invite strikes like that in the futurethey know that Israel can hit them back hard if they want as they demonstrated last time by flying an unarmed missile into their nuclear programs air defensesthey know they have to make it bigger than the last one (which also was mostly symbolic) but if it's too big so will be the response>>1349023amazing how much the term genocide has been watered down, it feels like to some people it just means "kill (a lot of) people" these days>>1349030Weren't most Israeli landgrabs results of defensive wars? The gave back the Sinai peninsula after the Suez Crisis for instance.Maybe Israeli neighbors should stop teach their children to hate Israel, I can't blame anyone for hating Jews if all you are told that they are the sole reason your life is bad. To paraphrase some past Israeli minister "We'll have peace, as soon as you love your children more than you hate us">>1349037It's surprisingly hard to find a definition of terrorism that everyone agrees on. One I found from the UN General Assembly>Criminal acts intended or calculated to provoke a state of terror in the public, a group of persons or particular persons for political purposes are in any circumstance unjustifiable, whatever the considerations of a political, philosophical, ideological, racial, ethnic, religious or any other nature that may be invoked to justify themWhich the pager attack doesn't count as as far as I can tell, since it was targeting Hezbollah fighters
>>1349061Jew found.
>>1349067If thinking for myself makes me a Jew, I'm happy to revoke my foreskin privileges at the nearest Synagogue
>>1349067Terrorist found.
>>1349061>amazing how much the term genocide has been watered down, it feels like to some people it just means "kill (a lot of) people" these days5% of Gazas population are dead or injured. Israel is doing this specifically to make sure these people are gone for good and annihilated which is what genocide is. There's no plan for resolution for peace afterwards.But hey youre happy to point out that Israel aren't terrorists but Israel itself has proved that it has no problem acting like one, just with the backing of US.
>>1349186>5% of Gazas population are dead or injured.More than that. They keep killing aid workers and have purged the region of journalists.
>>1349189>>1349186Good posts
>>1349191Downvoted
>>1349186>this specifically to make sure these people are gone for good and annihilated>There's no plan for resolution for peace afterwardsAnd you know this how?I agree that Israel is likely committing domicide and that that's fucked up btw. Just in case you're one of those people who think this is a black and white issue
>>1349037It's a breach of one of the Geneva conventions that Israel, Lebanon and the US agreed to. Compared to a lot of these it's pretty matter-of-fact and there's no obvious loopholes or contingencies for Israel to excuse themselves with.
>>1349214Who will stop them? Russia? lol
