Israel launches missile attack on Isfahan in response to Iran assault

Israel has launched a missile attack against a site in Iran, according to US broadcaster ABC News.
Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency has reported explosions in Isfahan province with state television reporting flights in several cities have been suspended.
There were also reports of explosions in Syria and Iraq.
The assault comes days after Iran fired an unprecedented barrage of drones and missiles at Israel in retaliation to a suspected Israeli attack on its consulate in Syria on April 1.

would be limited. Explosions in Isfahan came from an army base where fighter jets take off.

I am 100% for Israel against Iran...

Iran is a terrorist country, they have proxies going against us in the ME and are an ally to Putin, plus I honestly believe they are close to or have a Nuke available. I am for Israel taking them out.

Are you for a war that threatens Biden's re-election?

For 20 years, Bibi has been trying to get us to fight Israel's battle with Iran.
This time he may just well succeed to our detriment.

And since you are against what is happening in Gaza, the focus on Iran keeps the focus of
what is happening in Gaza as the IDF starts to move against Rafah. Bibi is a master at deflection
and obscuration
