Iran launched a significant drone attack on Israel on Saturday, which is expected to take hours to reach its targets, as reported by Israel's military and confirmed by Iranian state media quoting Iran's revolutionary guards. Iran's Revolutionary Guards have stated that Operation 'True Promise' is a response to Israeli actions and is part of their strategy to punish Israel for its perceived crimes.
According to a report by Israel's Channel 12 TV, Iran has also launched cruise missiles at Israel, with a shorter flight time than a drone.
According to two regional security sources, Jordan has positioned its air defences to intercept and destroy any Iranian drones or aircraft that breach its airspace. These sources further indicated that the army is on high alert, with radar systems actively monitoring drone movements. Jordan has also declared a state of emergency in the country.
In response to escalating tensions with Iran and the closure of Israel's airspace as a precautionary measure, El Al Airlines has announced the cancellation of 15 flights scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. The affected destinations include Paris, Rome, Barcelona, Milan, Bucharest, Sofia, Athens, Dubai, and Moscow, as stated by El Al in their announcement.
Syria is also on issued an alert and has placed its Russian-made Pantsir ground-to-air defence systems on high alert around the capital and major bases, according to army sources.
According to two security sources in Iraq, numerous drones were observed departing from Iran towards Israel via Iraqi airspace. Iranian Press TV described these actions as "extensive drone strikes" conducted by the Revolutionary Guards.
Iran's actions come in response to what it perceives as an Israeli attack on its Damascus consulate on April 1, resulting in the deaths of seven Revolutionary Guards officers, including two senior commanders. Israel has neither confirmed nor denied its involvement in the incident.
U.S. President Joe Biden, having previously cautioned Iran against attacking Israel, reiterated his commitment to stand with Israel in the face of Iranian aggression, according to statements from the White House.
Earlier reports don’t mention cruise missiles.

This never would have happened under TRUMP.
“According to two regional security sources, Jordan has positioned its air defences to intercept and destroy any Iranian drones or aircraft that breach its airspace“
Ahhhhh so that’s the scam. Jordan will “shoot them all down”. There has to be an attack since DC predicted one. So we’ll get a fair attack to justify our response.
I will pray for you.
gonna have to triage the incoming...
Be safe- Fox just said anywhere from a dozen to possibly 100 missiles launched by the goathumpers- said it could take an hour to reach their target.....
Agreed.
If this is a serious attack, I wonder why things aren’t exploding in Iran already.
mark
The drones have lights on them in the videos Ive seen. Everyone knows about it hours before they arrive. Are we really that freaking dumb?
I plan on going to sleep soon.......
Hopefully all will be well in the morning

Keep your family and you safe.
Then, please keep us posted re reality versus Mediot B$!
The drones are cheap and they trigger the defensive missile responses — then the REAL cruise missiles are sent in.
All this has been done in the Ukrainian war already.
Russia is about to launch a major offensive there.
(The other original WW3 thread has been derailed with personal attacks. Can a mod fix that?)
This is really convenient, DC is predicting that Israel will get attacked by Iran for the last 10 days. Biden really wants a war with Iran and always has. The state department and DOD do also. They need something to happen so they can launch the attack but Trump refused to do. So we’re gonna be treated all kinds of stories about Sardis and Jordanians shooting down all kinds of Iranian missiles and drones tonight. But that will suffice for the active war they need. I wouldn’t believe anything coming out of DC these days.
