Breaking News: Israel Intensifies Strikes on Iran’s Missile Launchers

In a major escalation, Israel has intensified its attacks inside Iran, now specifically targeting Iranian missile launchers. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has released video footage showing strikes carried out in Tehran and other locations, confirming that missile launch sites are now primary targets. Israeli officials say the strategy is to neutralize Iran’s key military strength—its missile and drone capabilities. Iran has been using both drones and ballistic missiles as central tools in the ongoing conflict. Reports indicate that Iran has recently deployed the Kheibar missile in attacks against Israel. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes continue across Tehran and other Iranian regions, focusing on military bases and facilities linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The conflict is also spreading across the Gulf. There are unconfirmed reports of smoke near the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait City, though no official confirmation has been issued. Dubai and Abu Dhabi remain on high alert, while Bahrain is reportedly facing increased threats due to the presence of U.S. military bases. Despite three days of heavy fighting, Iran’s missile systems have not been completely neutralized. However, in the past hour, no new missile alerts have been reported in Tel Aviv.Analysts suggest this conflict could extend for weeks, with oil prices rising and tensions increasing around the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy  route.
