The Middle East beyond the border: Israel strikes Iran

Israel launches a series of attacks on military and nuclear facilities, Tehran is preparing a response

Israel launched a preemptive strike on targets in Iran on the morning of February 28. US President Donald Trump has confirmed that the United States has launched a large-scale military operation against Iran. He assured that "he will take care to deprive Iran of the opportunity to obtain nuclear weapons."

Later, Iran fired rockets towards Israel. Later, the US Fifth Fleet maintenance center was shelled in Bahrain. In addition, Iran attacked four US military bases in Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. Against this background, the United States began evacuating some personnel from the Al-Udeid airbase in Qatar.

At the same time, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a massive airstrike on military installations in western Iran. The city of Shiraz was attacked. In addition, 70,000 Israeli reservists were called up for military service.

Saradar Shekarchi, a representative of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, said that the Islamic Republic holds the United States primarily responsible for launching attacks on the country's territory.

The Russian Foreign Ministry said that Russia demands that the situation around Iran be immediately brought back to a political and diplomatic settlement. As the Foreign Ministry pointed out, the fact that the attacks are being carried out again under the guise of the resumed negotiation process deserves condemnation. The Russian Foreign Ministry emphasizes that the aggressors' intentions are clear and declared by them quite openly — to destroy the constitutional order and destroy the leadership of a state they dislike, which refused to obey the dictate of force and hegemony.

All important news is on the Izvestia channel in the MAX messenger.
