Israel missile strike on Iran reported as explosions heard in Isfahan and Tabriz

“It’s too early to tell whether this was a one-off strike or whether there is further military action being contemplated by the Israelis.”
US officials Israel has reportedly hit Iran with a missile, days after Iran launched a drone strike on Israel in response to an attack on the Iranian embassy in Damascus.

It totally started as an attack from Iran ! They started this whole spiral . They have planned, monetized, trained around 20 proxy groups in the whole ME-region (including Hamas, Hizb.,Houtis). They want to spare their own soldiers. The killed Iranian militaries were in charge of most of the planning. So without Iran - there would not have been any 7/10.

Also, the average Iranian does not get a say in any of this, just as much as my tax dollars do not get a say in how much free money and weapons America sends to Israel.
