Israel-Iran War News Live Updates: Iran launched a barrage of missile strikes against multiple targets in Israel on Friday night and early Saturday, retaliating against Israeli airstrikes that killed several high-ranking military officials on Iranian soil. The attack included over 100 drones directed towards Israel.
Israel, anticipating retaliation, reported intercepting most of the drones outside its borders. This escalating situation represents one of the most perilous flashpoints in the region in years, significantly heightening tensions.
These escalation comes after Israeli armed forces took Iran by surprise and conducted multiple overnight airstrikes, targeting Iran’s nuclear and military sites under ‘Operation Rising Lion’. Justifying the strikes, Israel has said that it had intel indicating that Iran’s nuclear programme had almost reached the ‘point of no return’.
After launching an attack on Iran, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz warned that retaliation was anticipated, stating that a missile and drone attack against Israel and its civilians was expected soon following their preemptive strike.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the country’s strikes on Iran target its nuclear infrastructure, ballistic missile production facilities, and various military capabilities.
Meanwhile, Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian told Russian President Vladimir Putin that Tehran does not seek to develop nuclear weapons following a fresh wave of Israeli airstrikes. In a phone call between the two leaders, Pezeshkian reaffirmed Iran’s stance: “The Islamic Republic of Iran has always maintained that it does not seek to acquire nuclear arms and that it is always ready to provide guarantees on this issue to the competent international authorities.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin denounced the recent Israeli airstrikes on Iran, echoing his prior criticism of attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Iranian media on Friday reported multiple explosions in areas east of Tehran. The reports did not immediately confirm the cause of the blasts or whether there were any casualties or damage.
