After Biden Tells Iran “Don’t”, Iran Does, Launches Attack on Israel

It’s kinda hard to take Biden seriously when he blows out for the weekend

Booms and sirens in Israel after Iran launches over 200 missiles and drones in unprecedented attack

Booms and air raid sirens sounded across Israel early Sunday after Iran launched hundreds of drones, ballistic missiles and cruise missiles in an unprecedented revenge mission that pushed the Middle East closer to a regionwide war.

The attack marked the first time Iran has launched a direct military assault on Israel, despite decades of enmity dating back to the country’s 1979 Islamic Revolution. Condemnation from the United Nations chief and others was swift, with France saying Iran “is risking a potential military escalation,” Britain calling the attack “reckless” and Germany saying Iran and its proxies “must stop it immediately.”

Would these be the same people who’ve spent most of their time condemning Israel rather than Hamas? Which certainly incented Iran.

The Israeli military’s spokesman, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, said Iran fired scores of drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles — with the vast majority intercepted outside Israel’s borders. He said warplanes intercepted over 10 cruise missiles alone, also outside Israeli airspace.

He said a handful of missiles managed to land in Israel. Rescuers said one strike critically wounded a 10-year-old girl in a Bedouin Arab town in southern Israel, while Hagari said another missile struck an army base, causing light damage but no injuries.

“A wide-scale attack by Iran is a major escalation,” Hagari said. Asked whether Israel would respond, Hagari said only that the army “does and will do whatever is required to protect the security of the state of Israel.”

U.S. forces downed some of the Iran-launched drones flying toward Israel, according to a U.S. defense official and two U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the matter.

Iran is firing missiles and suicide drones over the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, one of the holiest places to Islam while Israel is the one defending it.

What’s next?

(Yahoo News) A representative from Iran said the offensive was in retaliation for the bombing of Iran’s embassy in Syria on April 1, and that Iran considered the matter “concluded.” President Biden pledged his support for Israel Saturday night.

But, will Iran truly consider it concluded? They won’t stop supporting Hamas and other terrorist groups attacking Israel. Will Israel consider this concluded? This was enough for Biden to come back from his typical weekend off in Delaware. At first he was going to make a speech, then that was cancelled. What’s the over/under he leaves D.C. Sunday?
