Iran has launched its retaliatory attacks on Israel in the past few hours.
Here are a couple of official updates from Israel.
Iranian attacks on Israel were “four-pronged,” according to a report carried by the Iranian state-run Tasnim News Agency.
The missile and drone attacks were launched at Israel from positions in Iran, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen, according to the agency, which is affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Iran supports the powerful armed group Hezbollah in Lebanon, smaller armed groups in Iraq and the Houthis, a rebel group in Yemen.
It wasn’t just Israel shooting down the drones and missiles. The United States took part, as well, probably over the skies of Iraq.
Also taking part was the United Kingdom.
And also Jordan.
Jordan's air force intercepted and shot down dozens of Iranian drones that violated its airspace.
Iran has warned Jordan it may be next target because of its cooperation
Here’s a look at Israel’s multilayered air-defense system
And here’s a good summary of Iran’s weapons that they likely used
For now, this is all we know.
Israel plans to respond.
And we need to keep as calm as we can.
The media will do its best to blow this out of proportion. We simply need to just breathe and remember that it’s probably not as bad as the media is saying.
Remember Y2K? Bird flu? Swine flu? Etc. Etc.
I’ll try to do another update as I can and as the new merits it.
Love and peace,
Stan R. Mitchell
