- Iran' Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched ballistic missiles at Israel's Ramat David airbase on Sunday night, saying the strikes were a warning over Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon.
- Israel' army reported that sirens sounded across the country and that it intercepted all missiles launched from Iran.
- Mohsen Rezaee warned that any further Israeli aggression would trigger broader responses, including attacks on American‑Zionist targets in the region.
- Trump said he would call Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to urge him not to retaliate, adding that the Iranian strikes caused no injuries.
- Barak Ravid noted that it is unclear whether the United States would back Israel if it chooses to strike Iran.
Why it matters: Israel faces heightened security threats in the region while Iran signals willingness to expand attacks, and the US risks derailing its near‑final nuclear deal with Iran.
