According to consistent US media reports, Israel has attacked Iran. The channels CNN, ABC News, MSNBC and Fox News and other media outlets cited US government representatives. Accordingly, Israel carried out a military operation in Iran on Friday night. One or more Israeli missiles attacked a target in Iran. There were initially no reports of damage. Israel and the US Department of Defense have not yet commented.
Iran’s state media rejected reports of missile attacks. The state news agency Irna reported that it was not a widespread attack. According to stockbrokers, it reassured investors to some extent that Iran was trying to downplay the incidents. According to a US media report, Israel wanted to show Tehran that it can attack within the country with the alleged air strike in Iran.
“Investors are currently showing some nervousness given the situation in the Middle East and its impact on the energy markets,” wrote financial market expert Andreas Lipkow.
