Iran says it informed its neighboring countries about the impending strike against Israel 72 hours before the attack. Israel has been able to repel almost all attacks from Iran.
Great Britain also helped. The Royal Air Force has shot down “a number” of Iranian attack drones, Rishi Sunak said. The UK has sent “additional aircraft” to the region as part of operations already underway in Iraq and Syria. The impact on regional stability would be hard to overstate, if Iran’s attack on Israel had been successful. “This was a dangerous and unnecessary escalation that I condemned in the strongest possible terms,” said British Prime Minister David Cameron. The G7 will send the message to Israel that extreme caution is required so that the situation does not worsen. The German defense policy spokesman for the Union faction Florian Hahn (CSU) discussed the possibility of deploying the Bundeswehr. The federal government must examine “all options for substantial help and support for Israel,’ he said.
