Did Israel Even Attack Iran??
The highly anticipated response by Israel over Iran's recent bombing of Israel with over 300 attack drones and missiles, which resulted in zero deaths and only some damage on a desert military base, was reported as being launched by Israel into Iran yesterday (April 19th). In the days leading up to this alleged "attack," the debate among the Israeli military was whether or not this attack should be "hard" in "revenge", or limited in scope to "avoid escalation" in the region. Here is how CBS News reported the "attacks" as they were allegedly happening: "Two U.S. officials confirm to CBS News that an Israeli missile has hit Iran. The strike follows last weekend's retaliatory drone and missile attack against Israel, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to respond to. Officials were tightlipped about the location or extent of the Israeli strike." This was happening very late Thursday night (April 18th) in the U.S., when it was April 19th in Iran and Israel. I saw these headlines just before I went to bed Thursday night. The next morning, more details began to emerge, and it was reported that the alleged attacks were in the city of Isfahan, where Iran reportedly had nuclear facilities. As more and more details allegedly emerged, the U.S. media was reporting that the "attacks" actually came from within Iran, and were not in fact "missiles", but "drones." So I went to the Iranian English News site, TasnimNews.com, and they were reporting that there were no airstrikes at all. Later in the day the Iranian press updated their news to report that there actually were some “suspicious” objects that were sighted. As the day progressed, the Iranian media began to mock the Western media, showing people in Isfahan allegedly going about their business as if nothing had happened. The Iranian press then stated that they identified these objects in the sky as "micro aerial vehicles" (MAVs), about the size of mosquitoes.
