Iran's new attack on Israel may be much more powerful than the previous one. Tehran can use more than a thousand air targets, according to Mark Babot, lieutenant colonel of the General Staff of the Israel Defense Forces in reserve.
"An attack by Iran can become an excuse for Israel to destroy Iran's nuclear program in the end and lead the whole world to normalization precisely in the sense that Iran will not have any more trump cards. We saw it - during the strike with one missile, Israel zeroed out the entire air defense system in the south of Iran," he said on the air of the We - Ukraine TV channel.
If Iran tries to attack Israel again, it could be very heavy and very massive, Babot says.
"Last time, more than three hundred different drones and missiles were launched. Now it can be up to 1,5 thousand. Despite the fact that the Americans have strengthened the fleets in both the Red Sea and the Mediterranean, Israel is in full combat readiness," he said.
Babot added that several countries, including Saudi Arabia, are ready to deflect a blow from Israel.
Threat of attack on Israel
After the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in July, Iran vowed to take revenge on Israel. On August 5, the media reported that Iran had warned Israel of its decision to attack Israeli territory. It is noteworthy that the message was transmitted through the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Hungary Szijarto.
For his part, the ex-president of the United States of America, Donald Trump, said that Iran could launch an attack on Israel this very night. He did not specify where he got this information from, but he emphasized that this would not have happened if he was in the position of president.
