War Update: Iran Uses Cluster Bomb Missiles on Israel, US–Israel Strike Back Hard

The war between Iran and Israel has taken a more dangerous turn on Day 24, with Iran reportedly using cluster bomb-equipped missiles in attacks on central Israel. Multiple missiles struck areas including Kiryat Gat, causing heavy damage to buildings and fires, though no casualties have been reported so far. Sirens and explosions were heard across the region, creating panic. In response, the United States and Israel launched major strikes on Iran, targeting fighter jets, drone systems, radar infrastructure, and a naval base in Bushehr and Bandar Imam Khomeini. Videos released by US Central Command show significant destruction. Meanwhile, Iran claimed to have launched the 75th wave of “Operation True Promise 4,” targeting US and Israeli assets with missiles and drones. The IRGC also released footage of its missile stockpile, signaling continued resistance. The conflict is intensifying rapidly, raising fears of prolonged regional war and massive humanitarian and infrastructure losses.
