Today, Iran is reaping the rewards of its aggressive policy
Obviously, the constant threats to destroy Israel could not go unanswered. Once again, the Mossad and other intelligence services of the Jewish state proved their effectiveness having warned the Israeli government of the danger in time, which gave it grounds to decide to launch preventive strikes against Iranian military and nuclear facilities.
It has already become known that as a result of the attacks by the Israeli armed forces, several high-ranking Iranian generals have been killed and a number of important military facilities have been destroyed. Obviously, after such strikes, it will take Iran a lot of time to recover and restore its forces, which will reduce the risk of a large-scale war in the Middle East for a certain period of time.
Ukraine also has its own scores to settle with Iran and is therefore in full solidarity with Israel.
It is known that in 2019, the Iranian military deliberately shot down a Ukrainian airliner with a Russian-made missile and was not punished for it. Further, Iran became a strategic ally of Russia in the latter’s war with Ukraine and began massive supplies of weapons and ammunition to the Russians, including the “Shaheds”, which Russia has been using for four years to attack Ukrainian cities and villages and kill civilians.
Therefore, it is quite logical and justified that tiny Israel did not wait for an attack from Iran, but was the first to launch preventive strikes on its military and nuclear facilities, which gave it the opportunity to protect its citizens and prevent Iranian politicians and military from carrying out their threats and destroying Israel.
