‘We hope and expect to see some wisdom as well as strength, but as you guys know, no guarantees,’ senior State Department official tells CNN

A senior US State Department official said Israel has not assured the Biden administration it would refrain from attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities, according to CNN.

The official said Friday that it is “really hard to tell” whether Tel Aviv would retaliate on the one-year mark of an attack by the Palestinian resistance group, Hamas, last Oct. 7 against Israel.

“We hope and expect to see some wisdom as well as strength, but as you guys know, no guarantees,” the unnamed official said after CNN asked if Israel provided guarantees to the US on its military intentions toward Iran.

Earlier this week, Iran launched missiles against Israel in retaliation for the assassinations of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

Israel continues air and ground attacks against Lebanon while conducting strikes in the Gaza Strip.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Iran would "pay" for the attacks.
 

Iran has prepared response to any Israeli attack: media

TEHRAN: Iran has prepared a plan to respond to a possible Israeli attack following the Islamic republic’s retaliatory missile strike against it last week, local media reported on Sunday.

“The plan for the necessary response to a possible action by the Zionists (Israel) has been fully prepared,” Tasnim news agency said, quoting “an informed source” in the armed forces.

On Tuesday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) fired some 200 missiles at Israel in retaliation after the leaders of groups allied to Tehran were killed in attacks.

“If Israel takes action, there will be no doubt that an Iranian counterattack will be carried out,” said Tasnim.

It added that Iran “has a list of many Israeli targets”, and said Iran’s attack on Tuesday “showed that we can level to the ground any place it desires”.

Iran says attack on Israel is over as fears grow of wider conflict

Tuesday’s missile barrage, Iran’s second-ever direct attack on Israel, came after an Israeli air raid killed Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and IRGC top general Abbas Nilforoushan in Beirut.

It was also in retaliation for the killing of Palestinian group Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh on July 31 in Tehran in an attack widely blamed on Israel.

On Saturday, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned of a “proportional and similar reaction from Iran, and even stronger” if Israel attacks.

On Sunday, Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad visited a key oil site in the Gulf, amid growing concerns over possible Israeli strikes on Iran’s oil facilities.

US President Joe Biden on Friday advised Israel against targeting oil sites in Iran, one of the world’s 10 largest oil producers.
 

"Everything is on the table" for retaliation against Iran, Israeli defense minister tells CNN​

Israel is closely coordinating with the United States as it prepares to strike back at Iran, but will make its own, independent decisions about how to retaliate, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant told CNN.

Even as the US has made clear it opposes a strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, Gallant said Israel has not ruled out any of its options.

“Everything is on the table,” said Gallant, who will meet with US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Wednesday to coordinate on threats from Iran and its proxies.

“Israel has capabilities to hit targets near and far — we have proved it. We will respond to the Iranian attack appropriately. We will not stand by and neither should the international community,” Gallant said.

Gallant has become one of Israel’s key interlocutors with the US, speaking frequently with Austin and top White House officials. He also met Sunday with Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla, the head of US Central Command, to discuss Israel’s planned retaliation against Iran.

Gallant also touted the success of Israel’s campaign against Hezbollah so far, saying Israel has “dismantled a major part of their capabilities” and that Hezbollah now faces “a lack of command and control.”

The defense minister said the ground operation remains limited to targeting Hezbollah positions closer to the border, even as the operation has expanded in recent days.

Gallant argued that the blows Israel has dealt against Hezbollah “have made a crack that now opens the door to change not just in Lebanon, but in the entire Middle East.”
 

Iran cancels overnight flights and announces closure of airspace


From Nechirvan Mando

Flights at Iran’s airports will be canceled overnight Sunday into Monday, according to Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization.

The agency, citing “operational restrictions that have arisen” said the closure will last from 9 p.m. local time Sunday (1:30 p.m. ET) until 6 a.m. local time Monday morning, according to Iran’s semi-official Mehr news agency.

Iran will also shut down part of its western airspace nightly until at least October 9, citing “military exercises,” according to a notice to airmen issued by the aviation authority.

The four “airways” that transit Iran’s western airspace will be shut from 8:30 p.m. to 4 a.m. local time.

Some context: No further details about the decision to cancel flights and shut down airspace were provided, but the moves coincide with the one-year anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel.

Israeli officials have also vowed to retaliate after Iran launched nearly 200 missiles at Israel last Tuesday, marking its largest-ever attack on its regional adversary. Israel has not said when or what form this retaliation may take.

CNN’s Paul P. Murphy contributed reporting to this post.
 
Which kind of missiles are they? I.e cruise or ballistic or quasi ballistic?
These three are the current vanguard of Iranian missile power which have been revealed as yet. There are many iterations of these not yet disclosed. The Fatah series are hypersonic, some of the older Fatah series have been quasi ballistic variants. The khayber Shikan is a ballistic missile.

Iran has more ballistic missiles in types and quantities than probably the rest of the world put together.

P.S. once yous defeated the best of the best…..no need to even advertise your wares no?
 
Indian take on Iranian capabilities. India and China so far behind in doctrine experience and weaponry suitable for modern warfare. What a joke no?

Let me be quite frank here…..neither India nor China can cut the mustard on challenging the western juggernaut. Both are untested amateurs.

They are ballistic missiles. All ballistic missiles with medium range are most of the time hypersonic. Word hypersonic is used only when the missile is cruise and travel at low altitude. Have you ever heard India tested Hypersonic Agni V? Though all Indian missiles starting from Pruthvi are hypersonic and travels at a speed of Mach V+. this terminology is used for cruise missiles only. For example, Russia fired Hypersonic Kinzhal, India tested hypersonic missile HSTDV etc. Had they been hypersonic missiles, Israel would not have been successful in shooting them down.
