As we hit send this morning, the United Nations Security Council is holding an emergency meeting over Iran’s “unprecedented” attacks on Israel yesterday. Iran followed through on threats of retaliation against Israel over a deadly strike on its embassy in Syria 2 weeks ago, which was widely believed to be an Israeli attack. Israel Defence Forces (IDF) Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari says Iran launched a full-scale attack involving more than 300 drones and 10 cruise missiles – most were shot down or stopped by its Iron Dome defence system. Reports say the main targets were military bases, and only one took minor damage. Israel promised a “significant response”, but US President Joe Biden has urged Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu in a phone call to “think carefully and strategically” about his next move. Biden reaffirmed America’s commitment to Israel but said it wouldn’t take part in a counter-strike.
