SECURITY: Iranian Missile Strike On Israel Appears Larger Than April Attack

SECURITY
EM BulletFixed Income BulletsHomepagemarkets-real-timePolitical RiskCommoditiesPolitical Risk BulletBulletMarketsEmerging Market NewsForeign Exchange Bullets

The initial wave of a major Iranian ballistic missile attack on Israel appears to have concluded. Early reports suggest that the attack was on a significantly larger scale than an April attack that was successfully repelled by Israel's Iron Dome missile defence system and air support from Israel's allies. The primary focus now is whether any of the missiles penetrated Israel's air defences and whether another wave of attacks is imminent. 

  • The White House said in a statement: "Biden convened a meeting with Harris and natsec team to discuss Iranian plans to imminently launch a significant ballistic missile attack against Israel. They reviewed status of U.S. preparations to help Israel defend against these attacks and protect U.S. personnel."
  • Axios reports: "The Israeli security cabinet is convened at the government bunker near Jerusalem, Israeli officials said"
  • The scale of the attack, with missiles appearing to have flown over densely populated civilian areas, points to a significant Israeli retaliation. The number of missiles and intensity of the missile barrage suggests that at least some of the missiles will have penetrated the Iron Dome.
