On March 9, 2016, in an undisclosed location in Iran, the Revolutionary Guard displayed their military prowess by firing a Qadr H long-range ballistic surface-to-surface missile. This display of power was a clear message to the world that Iran is not to be underestimated.
According to a senior official from the White House, tensions between Iran and Israel are rapidly escalating, with the possibility of a direct confrontation looming. In response, the US, a staunch ally of Israel, has pledged a $8.7 billion military aid package and is actively supporting Israel's defense against any potential threats from Iran.
The anonymous official issued a stern warning to Iran, stating that there would be severe consequences if they were to launch an attack. This sentiment was echoed by another official, who compared the potential assault to the drone strike in April, which was a retaliation for Israel's attack on the Iranian embassy in Damascus.
In Israel, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, the military spokesperson, assured the public that their air defense systems are fully prepared for any attack from Iran. However, at present, there has been no identified threat. This statement comes amidst reports of a ground invasion by Israeli forces into south Lebanon, after weeks of intense bombardment throughout the country, including in Beirut.
The Israeli military has described this invasion as limited, localized, and targeted. However, Hezbollah denies any Israeli presence in their territory. The US military has also issued a warning to Iran against escalating the conflict, and has increased their air support capabilities in the region, as well as placing soldiers on heightened readiness.
If an attack were to occur, it would greatly increase the risk of a full-fledged war between Israel and Iran, including their proxies in the Middle East. The situation remains tense, and the world watches with bated breath as these two nations move towards a potential direct confrontation.
