Support - The name of this article should be changed. The first “actual” retaliatory attack article is titled “2024 Iranian strikes in Israel” without mentioning “retaliatory” word at the title and how come this article can be titled as retaliatory? People will say that Wikipedia is biased to Israel. I don’t think this is a retaliatory attack as Israel provoked Iran first and the “actual” retaliation is done by Iran not Israel. Grabup (talk) 05:19, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As @Bigfatman8766, said the attack is also targeted Iraq and Syria. I will suppor the alternative name given, “2024 Israeli strikes in Iran, Iraq and Syria” for now, if anyone came with better name then maybe I support it. Grabup (talk) 06:08, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support - As said, this is not the first retaliation and as such should not be biased to be the only retaliation which names such in the title. The title "2024 Israeli strikes in Iran" (or Isfahan) is far more neutral and does not put the blame on Iran for being the igniter of this retaliation chain.

What about 2024 limited Israeli strikes on Iran? I think it sums it up good and blasts the conspiracy theorists? Mujiwins (talk) 15:37, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support for 2024 Israeli strikes in Iran,Iraq and Syria , that name suits more as strikes were not only in Iran but also Babylon and Baghdad in Iraq and Daraa and Sudais in Syria as well M Waleed (talk) 06:28, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've went ahead and removed "retaliatory" from the article name, because of the many requests to do so, and because it was clearly inconsistent with the other article name and against NPOV. – Asarlaí(talk)08:56, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change to 2024 Israeli airstrikes on Iran or 2024 Natanz airstrike. While this was initially reported as a drone strike. New reports from senior US officials indicate that this was an airstrike, launched by Israeli aircraft that fired missiles from outside Iran.[1]Ecrusized (talk) 16:41, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
2024 Israeli airstrikes on Iran - is looking more factual and famous. Also it will be good if we see other targets, mentioned above Iraq and Syria. Grabup (talk) 17:31, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose change to "2024 Israeli strikes in Isfahan", but "2024 Israeli strikes in Iran, Iraq and Syria" appears correct with what information is available at the present.--Surv1v4l1st╠Talk║Contribs╣22:17, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - The proposal to change the article name to "2024 Israeli strikes in Isfahan" is unnecessary and overly precise, given the broader scope of the events covered, which reportedly extend beyond Isfahan to other parts of Iran, Iraq, and Syria. Retaining a broader geographical descriptor in the article title, such as "2024 Israeli strikes in Iran, Iraq, and Syria," would more accurately reflect the distributed nature of these strikes and avoid the undue emphasis on Isfahan. It's essential for the title to reflect the geographic scope and the broader political and military context, ensuring the title remains relevant and accurate as additional information about these events may emerge.

Stron oppose unsupported by RS and ignores the fact that this was an attack by one state on another regardless of the geographic scope. Makeandtoss (talk) 11:01, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest we make a new article to cover the attack on Iraq's PMU base
This article is for the Israeli strikes on Iran on 19 April, not on Iraq on 20 April. I feel it's more appropriate to report it separately because it's two different countries and there's still no confirmation on who perpetrated the strikes whether the U.S. or Israel.
Also the attack on Iraq has been gaining media traction because an Iraqi PMU soldier was killed and many were injured. RamHez (talk) 07:17, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note, the references in the article make no mention that this airstrike was carrier out by Israel. While Israel is the probable suspect, this appears to be original research. Ecrusized (talk) 14:27, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
An earlier version of the Reuters article did mention Israel carried out the attack. I've tried using the Wayback Machine to look at a cached version of it, but only the earliest version seems to be available. David O. Johnson (talk) 18:36, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well another thing that I noticed is that IRI attacked Eilat, they do that often but this time they said it was in response to the attack on Baghdad PMF base M Waleed (talk) 03:46, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I know, an explosion happened in Tabriz but the details are unclear, can someone add with appropriate citations. M Waleed (talk) 04:36, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
