Iran is striving for regional strategic achievements, not an exchange of blows with Israel

Israeli air force jets struck 20 targets across Iran early Saturday during the operation, named "Days of Repentance." The operation unfolded with an initial assault on Iran’s air defense systems, followed by targeted strikes by more than 100 airplanes on missile and drone bases and weapons production sites.

As everyone was expecting, Israel’s retaliation for the Iranian ballistic missiles attack of 1 st October was launched last Friday night.

Israel's pre-dawn attack on Iran was one of the biggest and most complex air assaults the country has ever conducted.

Israel struck military sites in response to Tehran's Oct 1 missile attack, itself retaliation for the killing of Iran-backed militant leaders and a Revolutionary Guards commander.
