Iran launches retaliatory missiles into Israel, IDF announces
- On Friday, June 13, Iran launched hundreds of ballistic missiles targeting at least two Israeli cities in retaliation for early morning Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites.
- Israel had planned the initial attacks for months to degrade Iran's nuclear capability and military leadership, culminating in the killing of several top Iranian commanders.
- Following the missile barrage, Israel sounded air raid sirens, directed residents to bomb shelters, activated defense systems, and reported intercepting most of Iran's launched drones.
- Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu emphasized that the military campaign would persist as long as necessary to eliminate the threat, while Israel’s National Security Adviser Hanegbi noted that the operation was unlikely to completely dismantle Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
- The exchange increased regional tensions, prompting United Nations Security Council and IAEA emergency meetings, and caused economic impacts including a 14% spike in Brent crude oil prices.
