Trump: "War" was preventable

Iranian commercial air space remained open during its missile attack on Israel, Iranian social media users said on Tuesday.

Meanwhile Israel's airports authority had closed the country's skies to commercial aviation.

"This war was totally preventable," Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump said in a post on social media website Truth Social, appearing to refer to an Iranian military attack on Israel on Tuesday.

"It should have never happened. if i were president, it would not have happened!"

A news outlet affiliated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps taunted Israel in the wake of an Iranian missile attack on Tuesday.

It referred to the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel nearly a year ago and noted that the Islamic Republic was now striking the Jewish state directly.

"The 7th of October was carried out by Iran's proxies, and the 1st of October is done by Iran itself. Happy October,” IRGC-affiliated Saberin News said in a post on Telegram.

There were no immediate reports of injuries from an Iranian missile attack on Israel on Tuesday, Israeli military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said televised remarks.

The attack was serious and will bear consequences, he said, adding that there were no indications of further imminent threats from Iran - a possible sign that Tehran may have finished its latest volley.

The missile attack on Israel on Tuesday was a response to assassination of Ismail Haniyeh and Hassan Nasrallah, Iran's IRGC says in a statement.

"It should be noted that this operation was carried out with the approval of the Supreme National Security Council, the directive of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, and the support and backing of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army and the Ministry of Defense.

"(We warn) that if the Zionist Regime responds militarily to this operation, which is in accordance with the country's legal rights and international law, it will face further crushing and destructive attacks."
