Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps has announced a new series of missile attacks targeting American bases in the Middle East, with reports of missiles also hitting central Israel.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has declared the initiation of a new wave of missile attacks against American military bases located in the Middle East, according to the AFP news agency, which referenced Iranian state television reports. Concurrently, there have been escalating reports of missile strikes hitting central Israel, suggesting a marked increase in hostility between Iran and Israel. Early reports indicate that Iranian missiles have struck two areas in central Israel, prompting an immediate response from the Israeli military.
Israel's air defense systems were activated, successfully intercepting missiles over Jerusalem and other central locations after the military detected an incoming attack from Iran. Emergency response teams have been deployed to the affected areas, although, as of now, there are no reports of casualties resulting from these missile strikes. This development follows a trend of increased Iranian missile launches directed towards Israeli territory, which have been ongoing since the early morning hours, indicating a serious and persistent threat.
The situation is particularly alarming for both regional security and international relations, as the Iranian missile strikes mark a significant escalation in the ongoing tensions between Iran and Israel. The implications of these attacks extend beyond immediate military reactions, potentially affecting diplomatic efforts and escalating a cycle of retaliation that could destabilize the region further. Both the US military presence in the area and Israeli domestic security are now facing heightened challenges as these tensions continue to unfold.
