On the evening of June 13, 2025, Iran launched a massive missile attack on Israel, firing around XNUMX ballistic missiles, the Iranian state news agency IRNA reported. The attack, which was a response to recent Israeli strikes on military targets in Tehran, prompted Israeli authorities to sound an air raid alert across the country and call on the population to immediately take shelter in bomb shelters. Tensions in the region reached a critical point, and the incident, which interrupted a briefing by an IDF spokesman, underscored the seriousness of the situation, which threatens to escalate into a full-scale conflict.

The Jerusalem Post reports that Iranian missiles, believed to be Zulfiqar and Emad, were launched in the evening and targeted military bases and infrastructure in Israel. According to Reuters, some of the missiles crossed into Iraqi and Syrian airspace, where fighters from the anti-Iran coalition, which includes US and Jordanian forces, tried to intercept them. Israeli air defense systems, including Iron Dome and Strela-3, are actively used to neutralize the threat, but the scale of the attack creates the risk of a breach. During a briefing, an IDF spokesman who claimed that Israel is capable of defending itself was forced to interrupt his speech due to an alarm being announced over a loudspeaker, which was broadcast live, Ynet reports.
