Iran Fires Missiles at Israel Overnight — Tensions Escalate Further, Major Update

Updated: 21-06-2025, 10.56 PM

New Delhi: The ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel has taken a more dangerous turn, with Iran launching another major missile attack overnight on Israeli territory. While many had speculated that Iran might eventually scale back its aggression, the reality on the ground tells a very different story — the Iranian military is continuing to retaliate strongly, further destabilizing the region.

In the latest development, Iran reportedly targeted an Israeli hospital late Friday night, prompting an angry response from Israeli leadership. As the conflict enters its ninth day, tensions remain extremely high with no diplomatic breakthrough in sight.

Israeli Military Chief Warns of Prolonged War

Reacting to the overnight strikes, Israeli military chief Eyal Zamir issued a stern warning to Israeli citizens, urging them to brace for a long campaign. He acknowledged that despite ongoing diplomatic efforts, the fighting is likely to continue for an extended period.

Israeli PM Responds Sharply

In a hard-hitting statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the nation, highlighting the scale of the threat from Iran. He revealed that Iran possesses an estimated 28,000 ballistic missiles, and criticized Iran’s continued provocations. Taking a sharp dig, Netanyahu said, “They light fires on the roofs of others for oil, and when the smoke gets in their eyes, they act surprised with ‘burning eyes’ syndrome.”

Israel Hits Back with Strong Retaliation

Israel has responded forcefully to Iran’s latest attacks. According to reports, Iran has begun targeting residential areas in Israel with rockets and missiles. In response, Israeli forces claimed they have destroyed three surface-to-surface missile launchers operated by Iran.

Additionally, Israeli drones identified a group of Iranian soldiers, prompting an immediate airstrike that reportedly neutralized the entire unit.

Iran’s Overnight Missile Barrage

Iran fired multiple missiles throughout the night toward Israel. The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) confirmed that two missiles aimed at Jerusalem were successfully intercepted mid-air, preventing further casualties.

Diplomatic Efforts Continue Amid Rising Threat

Amid escalating global concerns, foreign ministers from Britain, France, and Germany held emergency talks on Friday in Geneva with Iranian representative Abbas Araghchi. Their goal: to de-escalate tensions and seek a possible resumption of stalled nuclear negotiations. However, so far, no breakthrough has been achieved, and the conflict continues to intensify.

With missile strikes and drone attacks now occurring on a near-daily basis, the situation remains volatile. Both sides are showing no signs of backing down, raising fears of a prolonged and potentially broader regional conflict.
