Israeli warplanes launched a retaliatory strike on Iran, using more advanced firepower than initially reported. The specific missiles used, their origin, and their impact were not immediately clear. Iranian officials initially claimed the attack involved small drones, but Israel did not publicly acknowledge responsibility or comment on the use of planes or missiles. The strike was in response to Iran's previous attack on Israel, and both countries have refrained from openly discussing the recent events, indicating a desire to de-escalate the conflict. Despite the limited damage, Iran sees the attack as a message of Israel's capabilities, while Israel's silence is perceived as a victory for Iran in achieving deterrence.
