The aim of the attack is to prevent the acquisition of nuclear weapons from Iran. Among the people killed are two high -ranking members of the Iranian military: Army chief Mohammed Bagheri and Revolutionary Guard Commander Hussein Salami. In addition, at least six nuclear scientists were killed in the attacks. This reports rbb24
Israel's head of government Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the military operation will continue "several days". In response to the Israeli attack, Iran shot around 100 drones towards Israel, which were all intercepted. According to the Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghtschi, the Israeli procedure is a declaration of war. The uranium enrichment system in Iranian Natan suffered serious damage during the attacks, but the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) currently did not report any increased radiation values.
escalation in the Middle East
Israel described the comprehensive attack on the Iranian nuclear systems as a "preventive strike". President Izchak Herzog said that this step had become necessary due to an existential threat to the Jewish people. Military spokesman reported Iranian advances towards Nuclear skills and a secret nuclear program, which Tehran always contested. Experts pointed out that the attack was weakened at a time when the Iranian "axis of resistance" is weakened, especially after the difficult fights in the Gaza conflict, which started in October 2023. At that time, the Hamas committed atrocities that were perceived as a pogrom and stir the collective trauma of persecution of Jews during the Holocaust.
The military conflicts between Israel and Iran are not new. Already in April 2024 there were direct military conflicts, and Hamas, supported by the Hisbollah and the Huthi militia from Yemen, carried out coordinated attacks on Israel. The current location is part of the larger historical and territorial conflict in the Middle East, which goes back to the 19th century. The Oslo process for conflict resolution is considered failed and diplomatic efforts to stagnate the de-escalation. Most recently there were significant exhaustion in the West Bank in May 2024, which demanded numerous fatalities.
With the persistent aggression on the part of Israel and the subsequent threats of Iran to impose retaliation, the tensions in the region are increasingly increasing. Against this background, IAEA boss Rafael Grossi Israel warned of attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities because they were well protected. For security reasons, the United States has also reduced their embassy staff in Iraq and warn Iran of attacks on US facilities or personnel, another negation of the already tense situation in the Middle East.
