The conflict that began with Israel attacking Iran alongside the USA has been ongoing for 25 days; while the parties continue their mutual attacks, a missile launched from Iran has reached its target, bypassing the Iron Dome. A huge crater was formed at the site where the missile, which is a nightmare for Israel, landed.
The long-standing tension between the US and Iran escalated to a new level on the morning of February 28 when Israel, together with the US, attacked Iran. The clashes that began after this development have been ongoing for 25 days.
MUTUAL ATTACKS CONTINUE
The Israeli army announced in a written statement that it continues to strike targets belonging to the Tehran administration. Israel is targeting military and strategic points belonging to Iran. In response, Iran continues its attacks against Israel. Throughout the night, missile attacks were carried out on various locations, primarily Tel Aviv.
MISSILE THAT PENETRATED THE IRON DOME
A missile launched from Iran reached its target by bypassing Israel's air defense system, the Iron Dome. CNN Türk captured footage of the impact site. The images revealed a large crater formed in the area that was hit.
INVISIBLE AIRCRAFT SPOTTED
Meanwhile, the increasing tension between the US and Iran has taken a new turn with a remarkable development in the airspace. During a period when the Washington administration intensified its bombardments on Iranian defense elements, a claim from Tehran reignited discussions about military balances. According to a report in the Daily Mail, a few days ago, the Iranian army claimed to have shot down a stealth aircraft, the F-35 Lightning II, one of the most advanced fighter jets of the US, with anti-aircraft artillery fire.
IS HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF?
In these days when Trump is considering giving orders for US Navy ships to escort oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz, maritime analysts and historians are feeling a sense of "we have seen this before." Nearly 40 years ago, US warships were clashing in the same waters with the enemy they face today, namely the naval forces of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. The 'Tanker War' of the late 1980s, while harboring similar weapons and issues that an American escort force might encounter today, offers historical lessons on how wars can quickly spiral out of control with deadly consequences at unexpected moments.
