Iran responds after Trump's bombing: Wave of missiles reported against Israel

Iran reportedly retaliated against U.S. and Israeli bombings by launching missiles towards Israel following a military operation aimed at dismantling its nuclear program.

Iran has reportedly responded to U.S. and Israeli bombings following a military operation dubbed β€˜Epic Fury,’ which aimed at eliminating the nuclear program led by Ali Khamenei. This operation was confirmed by U.S. President Donald Trump, marking one of the largest U.S. military deployments in the Middle East in decades. In retaliation, Iran has conducted missile strikes against Israel, as confirmed by Benjamin Netanyahu's government.

The missile attacks reportedly targeted U.S. military bases in Bahrain, although there have been no reports of American casualties. The Israeli Defense Forces indicated that missiles were launched from Iran towards Israel, with defensive systems activated to intercept the threats. In the affected areas, precautionary directives had been sent directly to mobile phones to alert civilians of potential dangers.

This escalation comes amid heightened tensions in the region, raising concerns over potential further military engagements and the effects on international relations. The U.S. and Israel's military actions and Iran's responses may lead to broader regional instability, impacting diplomatic efforts and security responses in the Middle East.
