An official from the Saudi royal family said that “any suspicious object” that enters Saudi Arabian airspace is intercepted, an apparent nod toward the kingdom’s alleged role in shooting down Iranian attack drones headed for Israel last night.
The Jordanian Foreign Minister confronts the criticism of the interception of the Iranian missiles and UAVs in Jordanian skies:
"We will intercept any UAV or missile that improved our airspace, whether Iranian or Israeli."
"We will intercept any UAV or missile that improved our airspace, whether Iranian or Israeli."
The multi-layered defense -
yesterday when I sat in front of the screen and saw the interceptions, tears came rolling down my face.
From talking to some acquaintances, it seems that the public does not understand the historical magnitude of the event, apparently because we have grown into reality with an iron dome, but this is a completely different event.
The story that begins in the 90s with the beginning of the development of Arrow 1 and 2 (later came the Iron Dome, David's sling, Arrow 3, 4 and Iron Beam)
Unlike Iron Dome, which since 2011 has had thousands of operational opportunities to learn and improve, the first time Arrow 2 and 3 faced a *real* operational challenge was in the current war.
This is about the interception of one single missile by each of them. that's it.
To try to illustrate the meaning of things, imagine a person who practices basketball for 30 years alone, and the first time he steps on the court is for a one on one game against Michael Jordan, and he wins, 100:0. This is the event.

More and more videos coming out of Iran revealing that a lot of drones and missiles malfunctioned and fell down on Iranian towns and villages.
The Islamic regime is a risk to the lives of all decent Iranians who don’t want the Mullahs to rule their lives

Can we get something straight please:
On 1 April 2024, Israel did not attack an Iranian consulate in Damascus. It was a terrorist HQ for the IRGC, masquerading as a diplomatic mission.
Mohammad Reza Zahedi, the Iranian general who was eliminated in the attack, was no Gandhi. He was a senior Quds military commander involved in the planning and execution of Hamas’s October 7 massacre against Israel.
Zahedi also led Iran's Hezbollah operations in Syria and Lebanon, including smuggling ammunition and precision weapons into Lebanon and working closely with Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah.
Zahedi, who was on par with Qassem Soleimani, also had "American blood on his hands", having been responsible for a number of attacks in the region, that claimed American lives.
His elimination was an entirely legitimate, just and legal action.

Iran announced this morning the cancellation of the restrictions imposed on the airports in the last few days and they are returning to normal operations.

Good morning Tucker and Candace:
Sophia Khalifa graduated from Stanford University after having studied in Israel with high ambitions.
She is an Arab Muslim and proud Israeli citizens.
She says that Arabs don’t have more freedoms in any other Middle Eastern country than Israel

According to the US military, most of the 100-plus ballistic missiles Iran fired at Israel last night were shot down by Israel.
Most of the intercepts were carried out by the Arrow Two and Arrow Three Israeli systems, taking place not only over Israeli airspace, but over neighboring countries as well.
The US shot down four to six ballistic missiles with a pair of aircraft carriers it had moved into the eastern Mediterranean ahead of the strike.

IDF spokesperson:
During the night, fighter jets of the Israeli Air Force successfully intercepted an unmanned aircraft that made its way to Israeli territory from the east.
The vehicle was being monitored by IDF forces, did not pose a threat and no alerts were activated in accordance with policy. There were no casualties and no damage was caused.

I suspect that there is a reason why the IDF spokesperson failed to mention where EXACTLY this UAV came from the east. Could it be from Iran?
Are we going to witness a daily war of attrition where one $15K worth drone is keeping expensive fighter jets busy and expensive interceptors wasted…?
Only a super powerful, decisive and unprecedented attack on Iranian soil can put this to an end!
