New Delhi, June 22:
Iran has launched a fresh wave of missiles toward Israel in what appears to be a sharp retaliation following U.S. airstrikes on three of its most critical nuclear sites.
Multiple blasts over Jerusalem were heard. This comes shortly after the Israel Defence Forces’ warning of incoming Iranian missiles.
According to CNN, Israel’s military confirmed the attack early Sunday and urged citizens to immediately seek shelter. “A short while ago, the IDF identified missiles launched from Iran toward the territory of the State of Israel,” the Israel defence Forces (IDF) said in a statement carried by CNN. “Defensive systems are operating to intercept the threat,” it added, urging the public to enter a protected space and remain there until further notice.”
This marks the first missile barrage from Tehran since U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that American B-2 bombers had struck Iran’s Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities. The escalation has now thrown the region into a dangerous new phase of conflict, prompting fears of a broader war.CNN
