After Iran attacked Israel with a ballistic missile, Israel has vowed to punish Iran for its actions. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised that arch-enemy Iran will pay the price for its missile attack.
At the same time, Iran has also said that any retaliation will be answered with large-scale destruction. This has increased the fear of war becoming large-scale.
Iran fired more than 180 ballistic missiles at Israel on Tuesday. There are no reports of casualties and Israel has ordered residents to go to bunkers. Orders to stay in a safe place were sent to Israelis' mobile phones and announced on national television. According to Israel's state television, Iran has taken responsibility for firing dozens of ballistic missiles at Israel.
In its statement, Iran mentioned Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Revolutionary Guard Gen. Abbas Nilforoushan, who were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut last week. It also mentioned Ismail Haniyeh, a top Hamas leader who was killed in a suspected Israeli attack in Tehran in July.
Will respond wherever, whenever and in whatever way it wants: Iran
According to a statement, Netanyahu said at the start of the political-security meeting, a Reuters report said. In a post put up by the Israel Defense Forces on the social media platform X, IDF spokesman RAdm. Daniel Hagari said that Iran's attack is serious and dangerous. It will have consequences. As directed by the Israeli government, we will respond wherever, whenever and in whatever way we want.
'The head of Iran's secret service was a Mossad spy', former president Ahmadinejad's claim shocked the world
With this attack by Iran, Israel's conflict with Hezbollah and Hamas militants, which began about a year ago, has become extremely fierce and there is a danger of it spreading to the entire West Asia region.
America will support Israel
America has said that it will give full support to its old ally Israel, while Iran's armed forces have said that direct intervention by Israel's supporters against Iran will provoke a strong attack by Iran on their bases and interests in the region. Oil prices rose by 5% due to fears of a full-fledged war between the two arch enemies. The United Nations Security Council has scheduled a meeting on the Middle East on Wednesday.
