Israel hits back at Iran in retaliatory strike, targeting nuclear research facility and major airbase: reports

By:Victor Nava, NY Post, April 18, 2024

Israel launched its expected retaliatory strike against Iran on Friday morning, according to multiple reports.

Israeli missiles hit at least one site in Iran, ABC News reported, citing US officials, and Iranian state media alerted citizens to explosions heard in the central part of the Islamic republic.

The attack comes after Iran rained down more than 300 drones and missiles toward the Jewish nation last Saturday — though nearly all were intercepted by Israel and its allies.Israel has responded and is currently attacking Iran inside Iran as well as Syria and Iraq. 6

Israeli missiles hit at least one site in Iran, ABC News reported, citing US officials, and Iranian state media alerted citizens to explosions heard in the central part of the Islamic republic.

Israel’s early morning retaliatory strike, however, appeared to be “limited,” a military source told Fox News.

Israeli officials notified the US on Thursday that it had planned to strike Iran within 24 to 48 hours, according to Bloomberg News.

The Biden administration “didn’t endorse” Israel’s response, a US official told CNN.

The city of Isfahan – home of Iran’s Natanz nuclear research facility and a major air base – appears to have been Israel’s primary target.

A scroll alerting viewers to a “loud noise” near Isfahan was displayed on Iranian state television, but provided no other information, according to the Associated Press.

State television claimed that all nuclear sites in the region were “fully safe.”

Hossein Dalirian, a spokesman for Iran’s civilian space program, claimed that the explosions were the results of three quadcopter drones that had been shot down, dismissing the threat Israel’s apparent retaliation posed to Iran.

Iran’s air defense systems were activated in several provinces after the explosions first rang out, state news outlet IRNA reported, according to CNN.

All flights bound for the cities of Tehran, Isfahan and Shiraz have been diverted, an Iranian official announced on state-run television, per the Times of Israel.

At least eight flights already in the air over Iran were diverted as the strike commenced, according to CNN.

Hopefully many many many more to follow until the whole area is an uninhabitable desert without any more Jew haters. The ones in the U.S. need to join them as well. Never again cannot happen until all of them and their dem allies are destroyed.

Iran, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon are puppets for Putin and Xi, as is Biden and our banana republic. They comprise the political arm of the WEF where the masters of the universe all meet in Davos each year. The US taxpayer funds both sides of these globalist operations that murder millions. Can’t wait for the next biological weapon release or nuclear war. Can’t have another sham election. That’s for sure.

If Israel takes out all of Iran’s nuclear and wmd facilities, it would be the greatest national security achievement for the world.

It wouldn’t just be a win for Israel, it would be a win for America, Arab countries, everyone. This is in America’s interests.

The evil doers deserved much, much more than that. I am relieved that ISRAEL is doing the right thing by destroying the evil. These evil people brought this on themselves no matter how they try to twist it. Our crooked Government should be in the same situation for helping terrorists, being evil and being corrupt to us and our Country and for DESTROYING IT!!!!!!!!!!

Did Biden actually tell Israel not to retaliate against Iran?

It’s very important and even necessary for the government and military officials of the State of Israel the send a message to that Tyrant /President, Rasis and Ayatollah Khamenei and the other Muslims villainous dictators in that hostile vicious and deadly Islamic regime of Iran as message in the only language that they are able to understand.

That message sent in the language of strong power of military might

Therefore ,it’s even obligatory for the Israeli government to launch retaliatory strikes against that belligerent and dangerous “mullah regime” of Iran.

The reason why this is so had been explained over 200 years ago by a US President, Thomas Jefferson, who had wisely declared, “With every barbarous people…force is law.”
