Israel Confirms Strikes on Military Targets Across Iran in Retaliation for Sunday Missile Attack
The IDF says it struck military sites near Tehran, Tabriz and Isfahan — retaliation for Iran's Sunday ballistic missile attack on northern Israel, the first direct strike since the April ceasefire. The US says it was not involved.
Why it matters
The Israel Defense Forces confirmed that early Monday (local time) it struck military targets across Iran, including sites near Tehran, Tabriz and Isfahan. The operation was retaliation for Iran's ballistic missile attack on northern Israel on Sunday — the first direct Iranian attack on Israeli soil since a fragile ceasefire took effect in April. The IDF said it intercepted the incoming missiles, with no immediate reports of significant casualties in Israel.
Full report
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the United States was not involved in the strikes. US President Donald Trump had reportedly urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to exercise restraint and avoid retaliation, but Israel proceeded anyway. No immediate casualty figures were available from the Iranian side, and both countries warned of possible further escalation.
Background
Iran's Sunday missile barrage was itself retaliation for Israeli strikes on Hezbollah positions in Lebanon. The rapid exchange shows the ceasefire arrangements unraveling fast, with Middle East tensions rising again and oil and gold prices reacting.
