Iran has launched a new barrage of missiles
“There is no history for Iran to surrender to its enemies” Ayatollah Khomeini
Middle East (ANN)-The situation between Israel and Iran is escalating rapidly, with both sides exchanging missile strikes and issuing dire warnings to each other’s civilian populations. The conflict, now in its six day, has drawn significant international concern, particularly due to the potential for broader regional destabilization and U.S. involvement.
Iran has launched a new barrage of missiles, including what it claims are next-generation hypersonic weapons, targeting Israel in the sixth day of escalating conflict. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a stark warning for residents of Haifa to evacuate or face “annihilation,” as Iranian officials threatened “punitive operations” against Israeli cities.
missiles fly between Israel and Iran in the sixth day of war. Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, has publicly stated that President Trump’s call for Iran to surrender does not reflect the history of the Iranian people and the values of Islam. “There is no history for Iran to surrender to its enemies” Ayatollah Khomeini said.
Khomeini called on Arab countries to protest against oppression and tyranny, while also sending a call to Islamic countries.
*Iran’s Warning to Israel* – Iran’s military has urged residents of Tel Aviv, Haifa, and other Israeli cities to evacuate, signaling possible large-scale missile attacks.
*Israel’s Retaliation* – Israel has responded with airstrikes, including an attack on a maternity ward in Beit Lahia (which Netanyahu called a “mistake”), and has warned Iranian civilians in Tehran and other cities.
U.S. Military Buildup* – The U.S. is deploying additional fighter jets to the Middle East, raising speculation about direct intervention.
– President Donald Trump has issued aggressive statements on Truth Social, threatening Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and demanding Iran’s “unconditional surrender.”
– Iran has mocked U.S. military capabilities, claiming their air defenses are strong and warning that American bases could be targeted.
If the U.S. enters the conflict directly, it could involve strikes on Iran’s underground nuclear facilities (which only the U.S. has the capability to effectively target).
– Trump’s rhetoric suggests a willingness to escalate, though he has also hinted at restraint (“not going to take him out… for now”).
Israel’s missile defense systems are reportedly strained, meaning any large-scale Iranian attack could overwhelm them.
Global Implications:
– Oil prices could spike if the conflict disrupts Middle Eastern supply chains.
– Russia and China may react strongly if the U.S. strikes Iran, potentially leading to a wider geopolitical crisis.
– The risk of a full-scale regional war is increasing, with Hezbollah and other Iranian proxies possibly joining.
What’s Next?
– Will the U.S. strike Iran? – If Iran launches a major attack on Israel, Trump may authorize military action.
Will Israel expand its strikes?– Netanyahu may target more Iranian nuclear or military sites.
Will diplomacy prevail? – So far, neither side has shown willingness to de-escalate, but international pressure (from the UN, EU, or Arab states) could play a role.
This remains a highly volatile situation, and further escalation seems likely unless a ceasefire is brokered. The world is watching closely.
