Iran Launches Ballistic Missile Barrages at Israel After Massive Airstrikes

Following Israel's unprecedented airstrikes targeting Iran's Natanz nuclear facility and killing several top Iranian military commanders, Iran launched extensive retaliatory missile attacks against Israeli cities including Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared that Israel has "started a war" and vowed a strong, uncompromising response, warning that Israel will not escape unscathed. Israeli air raid sirens sounded as the missiles targeted military and industrial sites, causing dozens of injuries and damage to infrastructure. The United States has supported Israel's defense efforts in the region, deploying anti-missile destroyers and a carrier strike group amid escalating hostilities. President Donald Trump reiterated his prior 60-day ultimatum for Iran to negotiate a non-nuclear treaty, warning that failure to comply could lead to Iran's destruction. These events have sparked emergency discussions at the UN Security Council, raising concerns about a broader regional conflict.
