Israel attacked targets in Iran early on Friday, five days afterIran launched more than 300 drones and missiles against Israeli territoryin an offensive that caused no deaths and hardly any material damage. Information about the scope and nature of the attack is unclear at the moment, although it appears to be limited. Tehran claims to have destroyed three drones in Isfahan province, the heart of Iran’s nuclear program, after activating its defense systems. The U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has confirmed that no Iranian nuclear facilities were damaged.
A senior Iranian official quoted by Reuters said that Tehran — which had warned that it would respond to the slightest attack on its territory — does not plan to retaliate immediately because it is not clear who is behind the attack. Israel, as usual, has remained silent. Initial reports point to a moderate retaliation, following international calls for restraint.

where worse a place to send such a war-like attack. blow that place and the fall out would be a serious problem.
would US back Israel if Israel caused a nuclear explosion in Iran?
what would be the consequences for Israel? for Netanyahu?
and how would Biden or Trump react?
