Iran Fires Missiles at Israel, Warns of Escalation After US Strikes

News summary

Following U.S. airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities at Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan, Iran sharply condemned the attacks as violations of its sovereignty and escalated its rhetoric against U.S. President Donald Trump, labeling him a 'gambler' and warning that Iran would be the one to end the war he started. Iran's military spokesperson Ebrahim Zolfaghari declared that the U.S. strikes expanded Iran's definition of legitimate targets, signaling a shift toward powerful and targeted military retaliation not only against Israel but potentially beyond the region. In response, Iran launched ballistic missile attacks on Israel, including strikes near Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, causing casualties and damage. The conflict has intensified with the U.S. explicitly joining Israel's military campaign, prompting warnings from Iran that any retaliation against the U.S. would bring unpredictable consequences, while President Trump promised to respond with overwhelming force to any Iranian actions. International reactions include calls from Britain, France, Germany, China, and Oman for de-escalation and restraint, while global markets reacted nervously with rising oil prices amid fears of broader regional destabilization. This sequence of events marks a significant escalation in the Iran-Israel-U.S. conflict, heightening tensions and uncertainty in the Middle East.
