(about 13 hours later) | |
Tehran has reportedly announced that its new attacks will be “20 times larger than previous ones” | |
Iran is preparing to launch some 2,000 missiles at Israel in upcoming strikes as a response to West Jerusalem’s earlier attacks on Tehran’s nuclear and military sites, Al Arabiya reported on Saturday. The Iranian military has announced that future attacks will be “20 times larger than previous ones,” according to the outlet. | |
On Friday, Iran confirmed that the Israeli attacks killed Major General Hossein Salami, commander of the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and Major General Mohammad Bagheri, chief of staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, along with several nuclear scientists. | |
Iran’s envoy to the UN, Amir-Saeid Iravani, stated that 78 people had been killed and 320 injured. | |
Tehran retaliated with dozens of ballistic missiles fired into Israel, at least some of which penetrated its air defenses, according to videos circulating online. | |
US President Donald Trump said he had prior knowledge of the Israeli operation and called on Iran to conclude a new nuclear deal. Tehran, however, replied that Israel’s actions closed the path to diplomacy and announced the suspension of nuclear talks with the US. | |
West Jerusalem declared that Tehran’s retaliation “crossed all red lines,” while subsequent reports from Iran suggested a new round of Israeli military action. | West Jerusalem declared that Tehran’s retaliation “crossed all red lines,” while subsequent reports from Iran suggested a new round of Israeli military action. |
