Tensions escalated in West Asia as Iran launched missiles towards Israel late Sunday, marking the first direct attack since a ceasefire with the United States. This retaliation followed Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon, prompting Iranian officials to vow a 'decisive and painful' response. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the missile launches and reported that all were intercepted or landed in open areas. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that this operation would not be a one-off event, promising continuous strikes over the next week. Amid these developments, US President Donald Trump called for restraint from Israel, emphasizing the need for negotiations with Iran. He expressed dissatisfaction with Israel's actions, warning that retaliatory strikes could hinder ongoing diplomatic efforts. Additionally, Iran's parliament speaker declared US assets in the region as legitimate targets, escalating the rhetoric amidst the conflict. The situation remains tense as both sides prepare for potential further military actions.
