Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir issued a stark warning to Iran following missile attacks launched from Tehran, declaring, "Tonight, Tehran must burn!" This incident marks the first direct Iranian missile assault on Israel since a ceasefire was established in April, heightening fears of a broader regional conflict. The Israeli military reported successful interception of the missiles, although local media suggested possible impacts in northern Israel. Iran confirmed the missile launches as retaliation for Israeli military actions in Lebanon, following strikes against Hezbollah targets. Senior Israeli military officials condemned the attack, with military spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin stating that Iran had made a grave mistake. Amid calls for retaliation, US President Donald Trump advocated for de-escalation and negotiations instead of further military action. Meanwhile, regional diplomatic efforts are ongoing, with countries like Pakistan, Qatar, and Turkey attempting to mediate between Iran and the US. The tensions have also led to airspace closures in Iraq and Syria, affecting regional air traffic and prompting US forces in the Middle East to remain on high alert.
