Quick Glance: Israeli Strike Damages Iranian Air Defense System Without Detection, Officials Say
- An Israeli airstrike on Iran on Friday damaged an air defense system, according to Western and Iranian officials, and appeared calculated to deliver a message that Israel could bypass Iran’s defensive systems undetected and paralyze them.
- The strike damaged a defensive battery near Natanz, a city in central Iran that is critical to the country’s nuclear weapons program, according to the officials.
- The relatively limited scope of Israel’s strike and the muted response from Iranian officials, however, seem to have eased tensions.
- It was confirmed that Israel had deployed aerial drones and at least one missile fired from a warplane, as stated by three Western and two Iranian officials.

Quick Glance: Oil Prices Could Witness a 'Super Spike Well Above $100' Post Iran's Strike on Israel
- Market analysts predicted that oil prices could surge to $100 per barrel and beyond after Iran conducted an aerial attack on Israel, reigniting concerns of a regional war.
- Iran carried out an aerial attack on Israel on Saturday night, launching over 300 drones and missiles, marking the first direct military attack by Iran on the Jewish state.
- Insufficient investment renders the supply more fragile, raising the likelihood of a 'super spike well above $100' if the supply is disrupted.
- Recent months have seen oil prices rise due to trade disruptions and delays caused by maritime attacks in the Red Sea by the Houthis, who express solidarity with the Palestinian people.
