Amid escalating Israel-Lebanon conflict in the Middle East, Iran fired around 200 ballistic missiles at Israel on Tuesday night.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signaled it would retaliate, though he didn’t provide details of how or when they would respond. He said, “”This evening, Iran made a big mistake – and it will pay for it.”

Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei wrote on X, “With God’s help, the blows of the uprising front will become stronger and more painful on the worn and rotting body of the Zionist regime.”
Ali Khamenei further wrote, “Martyrdom on the path of God for General Nilforoushan, who had dedicated his life to jihad to raise the banner of Islam, is a great blessing.”
