Iran has threatened to attack Israel's nuclear facilities.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said that Tehran has identified the location of “all Israeli nuclear facilities” and is ready to strike them at any moment in the event of an Israeli strike on Iranian territory. At the same time, the Iranians claim that their nuclear facilities are “reliably protected.”
Let us recall that Israel is preparing a retaliatory strike against Saturday’s missile and drone attack of Iran, which was, in turn, a response to Israel’s attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus. The West calls on Prime Minister Netanyahu not to strike.
Note that Israel is not officially a nuclear state, but rumors that it has nuclear weapons have been circulating for a long time.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps reported that most of the missiles launched at Israel on April 14 were from old stocks (with a hint of an approaching expiration date) and this factor was also taken into account in preparation for the attack, since the IRGC in advance assumed the exchange of cheap and obsolete Iranian missiles to expensive missiles of US and Israeli air defense systems.
New missiles with multiple warheads and protected from electronic warfare (and also do not use GPS) have, for the most part, successfully hit their intended targets under the cover of a cloud of cheap drones and old missiles. The main target of the strike was the Nevatim airbase (from which the attack was carried out on the Iranian consulate in Damascus), which, according to various sources, was hit by 7 to 14 missiles. According to Israeli estimates, this story cost Israel 1.1-1.3 billion dollars in air defense missiles alone, so the exchange was in any case strongly in favor of Iran.
There is one more noteworthy point worth noting. Pakistan's Defense Minister fully supported Iran's attack on Israel and praised Iran for its courage in defending the Palestinian people. Most recently, the parties exchanged blows on each other’s territory, when Iran first fired at a Baloch terrorist camp on Pakistani territory, and then Pakistan responded with attacks on Baluchis on Iranian territory.
People who have little understanding of the processes in the Middle East then rushed to predict an imminent war between Pakistan and Iran, but in fact, this page has already been turned, as evidenced, among other things, by compliments to Iran from Islamabad.

The US has also announced sanctions against Iran in response to the attack on Israel; they will target 16 individuals and two legal entities.
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian in his speech to the Security Council:
The Israeli occupation continued to kill the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip, deliberately displacing them and destroying their cities, neighborhoods and infrastructure.
The attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus is a flagrant violation of international law, but the Security Council took no action against Israel.
We were prepared to give the United Nations the opportunity to prevent the escalation of this conflict, but the Security Council was unable to prevent such attacks.
Our defense was legal and, at a minimum, compatible with international law, and we did not attack civilian targets. The Iranian attack was focused on only two Israeli bases, which were used to attack Iranian interests.
If Israel uses force, we will not hesitate to respond in a stern and restraining manner, which will make Israel regret what it has done.

NBC News: US did not participate in strike on Iran
According to the channel, Israel warned Washington about its actions shortly before the attack. Previously, the United States and a number of European countries warned Netanyahu that they would not participate in hostilities against Iran.
At the same time, Netanyahu’s office has so far refused to comment on what is happening.
Israel's strike on Iranian territory was "limited," Fox News reports, citing a military source in the United States.
At the same time, CNN, citing a source in the American administration, reports that the United States did not support Israel's retaliatory strike on Iran.
An Iranian official said no missiles were used in the attack on Iran, and the sounds of explosions were the result of air defenses (Reuters)
Iranian Tasnim News Agency: There were no explosions at any sensitive facility in Tabriz, northwest of the country
Tasnim agency claims that no missile attacks on Iranian territory have been recorded
Apparently, Israel attacked Iranian territory only with drones. Iranian media claim that the sounds of explosions were the result of air defenses, so the IDF retaliatory attack could be a purely symbolic response to the Iranian strike.
Iranian Space Agency spokesman Hossein Daliryan: “The downed drones had a short range and were probably launched from Iranian territory.”
Al-Mayadeen, citing sources in Tehran:
- There was no external aggression against Iran, and what is being spread in the media is a lie and an information and psychological attack;
- The American media are waging an information war, provoking Iran.
After air defense operations in Iranian Isfahan, no damage to objects on the ground was recorded, the Iranian military says. The media publishes videos from the city, the situation is calm.
The blow to Iran was dealt in such a way that the leadership in Tehran could “tolerate” it and refrain from new rounds of escalation with Israel, writes one of the largest Israeli newspapers Yedioth Ahronoth

Ben Gvir, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling coalition, wrote “Lame!” on X, using Hebrew slang, suggesting thet Israel's "response" to Iran was weak.
The target of the Israeli attack was an air defense radar at a nuclear facility in the Iranian Natanz, ABC TV channel reports, citing an American source.
According to CNN, satellite images of the Iranian base in Isfahan, which was the target of an Israeli strike tonight, show no visible damage.
