Iran launched a significant military attack on Israeli air bases with 300 projectiles on April 14, marking a strategic shift in regional power dynamics.

The attack, including drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles, is a response to unchallenged Israeli actions against Iranian interests.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's previous speech and warnings indicate a calculated Iranian strategy to deter Israeli aggression while offering de-escalation options.

Iran's assertive stance challenges Israel's deterrence dominance and implies possible repercussions for U.S. interests in the region.

Iranian military readiness to disrupt maritime traffic, evidenced by the capture of an Israeli-owned ship, showcases their capability to affect global trade.

The attack has political support within Iran, although there is civil society opposition to escalation and potential war.

This escalation raises international concerns about a broader conflict in the Middle East, with implications for regional stability and global energy markets.
