๐Ÿ“ฐ The U.S. military shot down about half the drones fired from Iran using assets in Erbil, Iraq, Gulf States, and everything under CENTCOM.

British jets stationed in Cyprus supported too. This gave the Israeli military room to engage less targets.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑโŒ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท โ€” ๐Ÿ“ฐ Washington Post: Israel carries out airstrike on Iran, Israeli official says

โžก๏ธ The Israeli military carried out an airstrike inside Iran, an Israeli official said Friday, in retaliation for an Iranian barrage of missiles and drones launched against Israel.

โžก๏ธ It was not clear what damage the strike caused, but the official โ€” who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military matters โ€” said it was intended to signal to Iran that Israel had the ability to strike inside the country.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑโŒ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท โ€” ๐Ÿ“ฐ New York Times:

โžก๏ธ The scale of the attack was unclear.

โžก๏ธ The Iranian officials said that the attack was carried out by small drones, possibly launched from inside Iran, and that its radar systems had not detected unidentified aircraft entering Iranian airspace.

โžก๏ธ They said that a separate group of small drones were shot down in the region of Tabriz, roughly 500 miles north of Isfahan.

โžก๏ธ Iranian news agencies reported that explosions were heard near both cities, adding that nuclear facilities in Isfahan had not been hit.

โžก๏ธ In the immediate aftermath, flight tracking websites showed that civilian planes had diverted their routes away from the area and Iranian news outlets reported that several airports had been closed.

โžก๏ธ But within a few hours, Iranโ€™s state television had broadcast footage of normal life resuming in Isfafan and Iranโ€™s aviation agency said it was lifting flight restrictions.

๐Ÿ”ถ๏ธ Nearly $100 billion in funding for foreign countries and not a dollar for a U.S. border wall.

๐Ÿ”ถ๏ธ Congratulations to the American taxpayer. Your hard-earned money is getting fast-tracked overseas.

This breakthrough is exploiting the fallback from the Ukranian defeat in Avdiivka in February 2024 due to the lack of fortifications behind the city.

Furthermore the current Russian spearhead has bypassed the first line of pre-built Ukranian main fortification lines.

If this attack is not repelled it could open further advancement options for the Russian army.
