Israel launches new wave of strikes on Iran, intensifying conflict
Iran vows retaliation after Israeli attacks hit military sites and fuel deadly confrontation
TEHRAN/TEL AVIV (MNTV) — Israel launched a fresh round of airstrikes on Iran overnight Saturday, targeting what it described as dozens of missile launchers and military infrastructure across the country.
The strikes come in the wake of Tehran’s unprecedented ballistic missile attack on Tel Aviv a day earlier, in response to Israel’s ruthless attacks on Iran early on Friday.
According to Israeli officials, the latest assault was intended to neutralize Iran’s capacity to launch further missiles.
In response, Iranian state media reported a new volley of ballistic missiles aimed at Israel, intensifying fears of a broader regional conflict.
The exchange follows Iran’s retaliatory strike on Friday, which hit several locations in Tel Aviv, including a building inside the compound housing Israel’s Ministry of Defense and military headquarters. The attack reportedly killed at least three Israelis and injured dozens more.
Military officials quoted in Iranian media have warned that the confrontation may expand in the coming days, threatening U.S. military assets in the region.
Iranian authorities say Israel’s initial wave of attacks, which began early Friday morning, struck several cities across the country — including Tehran, Tabriz, Kermanshah, Khorramabad, and Natanz.
These strikes reportedly killed dozens and caused extensive damage to military and civilian infrastructure.
While Israel has not publicly confirmed the full scope of its attacks on Iran, Tehran claims at least 78 people were killed and more than 320 injured in the Israeli bombardment.
Among the dead, Iranian sources initially claimed high-ranking military officials were killed, but such reports remain unverified by independent sources.
With both sides vowing further retaliation, the situation continues to deteriorate, raising concerns of a sustained military conflict that could engulf the wider region.
