Iran issues strong warning to Israel

Iran has issued a strong warning to Israel, asserting its readiness for any retaliatory moves in the wake of escalating tensions.
This follows a series of missile strikes launched by Iran against Israel on Tuesday, marking a sharp escalation in the ongoing conflict between the two nations.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader, ordered the missile launch, with over 180 ballistic missiles fired into Israel. The attack has raised concerns of further military confrontations in the region.
The Israeli military confirmed the missile strikes but reported no injuries. Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, spokesperson for the Israeli military, noted that Israel’s air defences successfully intercepted many of the incoming missiles, although some did manage to hit central and southern parts of the country.
In response, a senior Iranian official speaking to Reuters made it clear that Tehran is prepared for any countermeasures from Israel.
“We are fully ready for any retaliation,” the official said.
Meanwhile, Iran’s mission to the United Nations defended the missile strikes, framing them as a necessary reaction to what it described as “terrorist acts” by Israel.
The mission emphasised that Iran would continue to take action in defence of its national security and regional interests.
As tensions soar, the international community is watching closely, anticipating potential escalation between the two rivals. Both nations remain on high alert, raising fears of a broader conflict.
