Middle East airspace at this moment

@Slavyangrad | Inna 👋

Iranian drones are approaching the airspace of Jordan. The kingdom is imposing a state of emergency in all provinces due to the Iranian attack on Israel, and is temporarily closing the airspace, local media claimed.

Boris Rozhin: Iraq and Syria will not interfere with the flight of Iranian drones and missiles. Syria is ready to repel attacks from Israel.

Jordan opened its airspace to the US and Israeli air forces and declared a state of emergency.

That could be a meme time post, but it is real.

UK condemns Iran's attack on Israel 'in the strongest possible terms', PM Sunak says

“I condemn in the strongest possible terms the Iranian regime's reckless attack on Israel. Iran has once again demonstrated that it is intent on wreaking havoc,” Sunak said in a statement.

“The UK will continue to defend the security of Israel and all our regional partners, including Jordan and Iraq,” the statement also said.

“Together with our allies, we are working urgently to stabilize the situation and prevent further escalation. Nobody wants more bloodshed.”

"Thisisdifferent" in all its glory....

🇺🇦🤡The NYT suddenly decided to state that the head of the Kiev regime is living his illusions and does not realize that it is not Republicans but the laws of mathematics that are preventing the allocation of aid to Ukraine.
At the moment, U.S. production capacity can cover only 10% of Kiev's need for artillery shells. The annual production of Patriot missiles is less than a third of what Zelensky is requesting, according to the material.

Ukraine needs more soldiers than it can put on the battlefield, even despite the draconian military draft policy. And it needs more military equipment than the states can physically provide. And the $60 billion Biden is demanding now is also just a fraction of what is needed to turn the current situation in Ukraine's favor,
- Senator Vance states in his article.

The IDF announced that it has intercepted more than 100 UAVs so far.

Sounds familiar, eh?

BREAKING:
HEZBOLLAH CLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY FOR 'DOZENS' OF ROCKETS FIRED TOWARDS IDF AIR DEFENSE BASE IN GOLAN HEIGHTS

Opinion: The purpose of the Hizbullah strike is to force the base to deplete as many missiles from its launchers as possible, to clear the way for the incoming cruise missiles and shaheds.
The AD base will have a catch-22: shoot down the hizbullah missiles and then have nothing left to counter the incoming Iranian strike, or hold back and risk destruction by the strike.

In Israel, the air raid warning sounds in more and more areas

@Slavyangrad | Inna 👋

An explosion occurred in Jerusalem, according to France-Presse

There are also reports of air defense operations in the Dead Sea area.

Reports of explosions in Haifa and the surrounding areas.

BREAKING:
Iran's mission to UN says attack on Israel in response to Damascus consulate strike has concluded.

Opinion: The scale of the attack is still unclear. As news filters out, we will know how much damage was caused to targets in Israel, and the effect on Israeli air defence systems.

In any case the Iranian statement of "OK we retaliated we are done now" is high level trolling of the Israeli regime and its supporters. I am sure Iran is ready and waiting for any attempt to strike back.

Iran's mission to the UN reported:

▫️ Iran exercises its right to self-defense in accordance with international law.

▫️ The US should stay away from what is happening as this matter concerns Israel and Iran.

▫️ Countries in the region were warned by Iran through diplomatic channels before the Iranian attack began.

“We hit the Zionist regime in accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter (attack in self-defense) after the attack in Damascus. The issue is settled, but the Israeli regime may make another mistake, and then Iran's reaction will be much harsher. This is a conflict between Iran and the Israeli regime, the US must keep its distance."

Arrivals at targets in the Negev Desert.

It is still unclear what exactly was hit.

Also, United States claimed to shot down three Iranian drones near Erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan. It can be assumed that shelling of the Erbil base using drones launched by Iranian proxies could follow. The United States also stated they shot down several drones over Syrian territory.

It is noteworthy that the missiles accelerate rapidly towards the target in a rocket-powered terminal dive. The terminal velocity of these weapons is extremely high, which would make them much more difficult to intercept. Similar missiles were observed striking targets near Tel Aviv.
