Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that the effects of the Middle East war have just started and will impact everyone, no matter their money, religion, or background. He shared this message on X. Iran also confirmed that it fired cluster missiles at Israel early Wednesday, which are designed to cause wider damage and avoid air defence systems. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it launched Khorramshahr-4 and Qadr missiles at an area in Tel Aviv, as reported by Iranian state TV. The IRGC said this attack was in revenge for the killing of Iran’s top security official, Ali Larijani.
Iran’s army chief, Major General Amir Hatami, said that Iran will give a strong and serious response to the death of Ali Larijani. He said that the sacrifice of Larijani and other martyrs will not go unanswered.
Another top Iranian commander, Major General Ali Abdollahi, warned US President Donald Trump that Iran’s response will be even more powerful. He said that Trump should “wait for surprises” and that Iran’s military action will be stronger than what the enemy expects and will continue until they give up.
At the same time, the United States carried out an attack on Iranian missile bases near the Strait of Hormuz. The US military used heavy 5,000-pound bombs to destroy underground missile sites. According to US Central Command, these missiles were a threat to international ships passing through that area.
Right now, the situation is tense. Iran has fired ballistic missiles at Israel. Reports say that two people were killed in central Israel, and two others were injured by missile fragments near Tel Aviv.
