Israel Responds.
“The Israeli military struck Iran early on Friday, according to two Israeli and three Iranian officials, in what appeared to be Israel’s first military response to Iran’s attack last weekend but one whose scope, at least initially, appeared to be limited.
The Iranian officials said that a strike had hit a military air base near the city of Isfahan, in central Iran. Initial reaction in both Israel and Iran was muted, with news media in both countries appearing to play down the attack, in what analysts said was a sign that the rivals were seeking to de-escalate tensions. For nearly a week, world leaders have urged Israel and Iran to avoid sparking a broader war in the region.”
After a long period of relative calm, the Middle East has erupted into a cauldron of hate and war since the Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7th. The region’s fragile peace has steadily devolved since that day with the constant fear of a war contagion erupting and involving nations far from the Middle East. All this is happening in an unprecedented election year in America as the World waits to see who we will choose as our next leader.
