Israel’s direct strike on Iran marks ‘a new phase’: Analysis

Israel’s attack on Iran was part of a new phase in tensions as it was the first time Israel admitted to a direct strike on Iran, with Tehran downplaying the impact and Israel exaggerating its achievements, analyst Abas Aslani said.

“This indicates that … Israel may be encouraged by the US to avoid a full-scale war in the region,” Aslani, a senior research fellow at the Center for Middle East Strategic Studies, told Al Jazeera from Tehran. “The initial assessment and the initial reaction here in Tehran indicates that maybe a serious or significant reaction, a direct reaction against Israel, was not as likely.”

However, Aslani said some sort of response from Iran should be expected.

Real embarrassment for Israel and USA 😂

[powerradio]

Easy answer, they Flew over Syria first, hit Targets there, then proceeded through Iraq, probably hitting proxy targets there, refueled aerially, then headed to Iran and attacked in 3 waves. P.R.

Iran will always down play the attack not to loose face 😂

[EsmailLotfi-lc]

Iran can not be manipulated by media reports: Iran will respond on their own choosing and time and proportionality.

[livingtestimony]

AlJazeera do u still remember iran promised to retaliate immediately after Israel aggression?

[rewantasubba]

Is the title misleading? Who attacked directly.

How did Jets reach Iran without entering neighboring countries airsspace?
Neighboring countries have assured Iran that they won't allow Israel to use their airspace

The world: How do you want your futures to be? Under radical or totalitarian regimes?
Or under some sort of democracy with development and health/longevity and happiness of priority?
Drop the staunch patriotism and prove that you can evolve. Now!

[WorldvisitWorld]

Now is the time for peace in the whole region

[bensonnjiwa]

100 jets into your country without you realizing is something incredible

[gunsmerica]

iran could be wwiped off the map, and people would still come here to comment "israel missed'

[commonsense]

Iran's interception of the Israeli attack are like Mike Tyson's rivals bragging
they have successfully blocked his devastating blows with their face.

[simonpeterokiror]

Al Jazeera know Iran has attacked Israel several times and it's still attacking through proxies. Balance the equation. Also blame Iran for all this evil

[michaelhoward]

It's all mad when they stopped aid getting through to Gaza. That's a human atrocity.

[yaronmelo]

Fair enough! Everything started in October 7th Israel has the right to defend itself

[LiaBit_com]

Just know that Iran is 85 times larger than Israel and has 10 times more population.
