\nIran\u2019s armed forces joint chief of staff, General Mohammad Bagheri, has threatened to repeat missile strikes on Israel with \u201cmultiplied intensity\u201d if the Israeli regime retaliates against Iranian territory.
\nThe warning came after Iran launched a missile salvo on Israeli military installations in response to what it described as Israel\u2019s \u201ccontinuous crimes.\u201d
\nHe stated, \u201cThe last two months were two very difficult months for the Iranian nation and the Axis of Resistance,\u201d referencing Israel\u2019s assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and the West\u2019s demands for Iran to exercise restraint in an effort to establish a ceasefire in Gaza.
\nHe further added that the criminal Zionist regime increased its crimes with the support and the green light of the United States.
\nMohammad Bagheri stated that Iran\u2019s missile operation had successfully hit key military sites, including Mossad headquarters, Nevatim Airbase, and Hatzerim Airbase.
\nHe emphasised that while the IRGC strike targeted military assets, \u201cthe economic and industrial infrastructure of the regime was not targeted, their people were not targeted, while this was completely possible.\u201d
\n\u201cIf the Zionist regime, which has reached (the level of) madness, is not controlled by the United States and Europe and wants to continue such crimes or take action against our sovereignty and territorial integrity, tonight\u2019s operation will be repeated on a much larger scale and all their infrastructures will be hit,\u201d Mohammad Bagheri warned.
\nThe Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed that 90% of the missiles launched in the attack successfully hit their targets. Mohammad Bagheri warned that if Israel continues its crimes, Iran would escalate the situation, expanding the scale of its operations.
\nIn reponse to the Iranian strikes Israel had vowed to retaliate, with army spokesman saying it would respond at the time and place of its choosing.
\n\u201cThis attack will have consequences. We have plans, and we will operate at the place and time we decide,\u201d said Israeli military spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari.
\nThe IDF said around 200 missiles had been launched towards Israel before concluding that very few citizens had been injured in the attack, with multiple missiles intercepted by Israel\u2019s Iron Dome defence system.
\nWorld leaders have meanwhile urged Iran and Israel to step back from the brink after Iran\u2019s launch of missiles.
\nUnited Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the \u201cbroadening conflict in the Middle East\u201d.
\nAs Israel\u2019s conflict with Hezbollah broadening alongside its ongoing war with Palestinian Hamas militants in Gaza, Guterres slammed \u201cescalation after escalation\u201d in the region.
\n\u201cThis must stop. We absolutely need a ceasefire.\u201d
\nAs the attack unfolded, President Joe Biden ordered the US military to \u201caid Israel\u2019s defence against Iranian attacks and shoot down missiles that are targeting Israel\u201d, a White House statement said.
\nUS Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the attack was \u201ctotally unacceptable\u201d and should be condemned by the entire world\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
