Iranian missiles struck Tel Aviv and other areas, as Tehran expanded its retaliation following large-scale strikes by the United States and Israel on Iranian targets. The escalation has raised concerns over a broader regional spillover, particularly after projectiles and drones were reported over several Gulf states. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) vowed a severe response, describing Khamenei’s assassination as a “blatant violation of religious, moral and legal norms” and holding Washington and Tel Aviv responsible. Emergency services reported fatalities and injuries after Iranian missiles struck Beit Shemesh, Jerusalem and the greater Tel Aviv area. Regionally, Saudi Arabia summoned the Iranian ambassador over what it described as Iranian aggressions, while Gulf states voiced concern over attacks on their territories.
