According to Iranian media reports, the attack, which has been codenamed ‘Ya Ali Ibn Musa Al-Reza’, began in the early morning. In this action, it has been said that US military bases located in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain will be targeted with drones and missiles.

What was the retaliatory action of Israel and America?
In response to these attacks by Iran, the Israeli Air Force (IDF) has carried out heavy bombing in Tehran and Isfahan. Israel claims to have destroyed Iran’s naval cruise missile production sites. On the other hand, US Army officials have said that their operation is also going according to plan. America is now preparing to deploy its 82nd Airborne Division in the Middle East. A security alert has been issued for Indians working in the Gulf as air traffic and oil supplies are also expected to be affected due to drone attacks.
Is there any scope for negotiation for peace?
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi has clarified that at present no talks of any kind are taking place with America. Iran has also rejected America’s 15-point ceasefire proposal sent through Pakistan. Iran says the attacks will not stop until its conditions, such as taking control of the Strait of Hormuz and compensation for the damage, are met. The United Nations and countries like Germany have warned that this war is now getting out of control and is threatening the energy security of the entire world.
