Iran and Israel exchanged major missile strikes over 24 hours, with explosions reported in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Tehran. Israel’s initial attack targeted Iranian nuclear and military sites, killing senior leaders; Iran said at least 78 people were killed and 320 wounded. Iran responded with multiple waves of missiles and drones, hitting areas near Tel Aviv and killing at least three people in Israel and injuring dozens. Israel said it intercepted many projectiles but reported significant damage in some areas. Both sides vowed further action: Israel accused Iran of crossing red lines by targeting civilians, while Iran promised a “crushing response” and warned it would intensify attacks. The escalation raises fears of a broader regional conflict, even as planned US-Iran nuclear talks remain uncertain.

Iran launched around 100 ballistic missiles at Israel in retaliation for Israeli strikes, with Israel’s defenses intercepting most and an estimated 5–7 getting through. Authorities ordered civilians into shelters as explosions were reported in Tel Aviv; at least five people were hospitalized, including two with serious injuries, and others treated for anxiety. The U.S. assisted Israel in intercepting the missiles, citing protection of American citizens and assets. Iran termed the operation “True Promise 3.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel’s objective is to eliminate Iran’s nuclear and missile threats while expressing support for the Iranian people’s freedom.

Iran warned it would target U.S. bases in the Middle East if Israel strikes Iran again, following Israeli attacks on Iranian nuclear and military sites that killed senior commanders and scientists. Tehran’s U.N. mission condemned Israel’s actions and blamed the U.S. as Israel’s backer. The U.S. partially evacuated personnel from Iraq and authorized dependents to leave regional posts amid heightened risk; about 40,000 U.S. troops are stationed across at least 19 sites near Iran. Analysts note Iran has previously hit U.S. bases with missiles (2020) and may be seeking to deter U.S. involvement and create distance between Washington and Jerusalem, even as questions remain about Tehran’s willingness and capacity to open a wider front.

Iran launched hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel from Friday night into Saturday, leaving 17 impact sites nationwide. Three civilians were killed and over 170 people were wounded, including seven soldiers. Damage in central Tel Aviv included a high-rise near government and military headquarters, forcing residents into temporary hotel housing; it was unclear whether destruction came from missiles, interceptors, or debris. In Rishon LeZion, a projectile struck a home, killing two and shattering windows and roofs across the neighborhood. Residents described fear, chaos, and scenes of bloodied victims, noting that while accustomed to rocket fire since the 2023 Gaza war, this attack felt materially and emotionally different.

Iran launched waves of missiles and drones at Israel after Israeli strikes hit multiple sites across Iran, including parts of the Natanz nuclear facility, air defenses, missile bases, and senior military leadership. Israel reported intercepting many drones but confirmed casualties and significant damage from missile barrages, with at least two people killed and over 20 wounded. Israeli forces continued striking targets in Iran more than a day after their initial attacks. Iranian officials, caught off guard before scheduled nuclear talks, acknowledged major intelligence and air-defense failures and the loss of top commanders, including the Revolutionary Guards’ aerospace chief. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed retaliation while weighing the risks of wider war, as internal debates highlighted Iran’s reduced missile capability after Israeli strikes. Tensions remain high with ongoing exchanges and uncertainty over further escalation.
