Iran Launches Drone Attack on Israel
Iran Launches Drone Attack on Israel in Retaliation for Embassy Bombing [UPDATED 4X]
UPDATE IV: Iran conducted a measured attack with some 200 drones which lasted around two to three hours and appeared to be calculated to avoid further escalations.
They showed they were willing to strike inside Israel directly from Iran and are capable of penetrating Israel's air defense but gave plenty of warning and appear to have only inflicted relatively minor damages.
Iran's Permanent Mission at the UN wrote on Twitter:
"Conducted on the strength of Article 51 of the UN Charter pertaining to legitimate defense, Iran's military action was in response to the Zionist regime's aggression against our diplomatic premises in Damascus. The matter can be deemed concluded. However, should the Israeli regime make another mistake, Iran's response will be considerably more severe. It is a conflict between Iran and the rogue Israeli regime, from which the U.S. MUST STAY AWAY!"
UPDATE III: "A senior U.S. official tells ABC News that Iran has launched an additional 70 missiles," ABC News reports. "The country had earlier launched 80, bringing the total to 150."
