BREAKING NEWS IRAN LAUNCHES BALLISTIC MISSILES AT ISRAEL

 Iran Launches Ballistic Missiles at Israel Amid Escalating Retaliation Over Airstrikes.

Tehran / Tel Aviv – June 13, 2025 — Tensions in the Middle East have erupted into a new phase of conflict as the Islamic Republic of Iran has launched a barrage of ballistic missiles toward Israel, in what Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared a “decisive response” to recent Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

The missile attack, confirmed by both Iranian and Israeli defense sources, comes hours after Khamenei vowed to “inflict heavy blows” on Israel. This follows what Iranian authorities describe as the largest Israeli aerial offensive in years, targeting key nuclear infrastructure across Iran.

This dramatic escalation also comes in the wake of the reported assassination of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) chief Hossein Salami, along with several other senior Iranian military officials. In a separate targeted incident, six Iranian nuclear scientists were reportedly killed, further inflaming an already volatile situation.

Israel has not officially confirmed responsibility for the assassinations, though analysts widely believe the operations bear hallmarks of previous Israeli covert campaigns against Iran’s nuclear program.

Initial reports suggest that multiple Israeli cities and strategic defense sites were targeted, but the full extent of damage and casualties remains unconfirmed as defense systems continue intercept operations. Israel's Iron Dome and David’s Sling missile defense systems have reportedly been activated at full scale.

Israeli officials have convened an emergency security cabinet meeting, while Iran has warned of “unprecedented consequences” should Israel retaliate further.

The international community is on high alert, with urgent calls for de-escalation coming from the United Nations, the European Union, and neighboring regional powers.

This marks one of the most dangerous escalations between the two rivals in recent memory, raising fears of a broader regional conflict that could draw in global actors.
