Iran launched “Operation True Promise,” firing hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones at Israel late Friday in retaliation for Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites that killed IRGC chief Hossein Salami and top nuclear scientists. Explosions were heard across Tehran, Isfahan, Tel Aviv, and Jerusalem. Israel’s Iron Dome intercepted many projectiles, but damage and casualties are feared. US President Trump warned Iran that “hardliners are dead” and urged a nuclear deal. The UN Security Council will meet urgently, as fears grow of a regional war. Netanyahu called the offensive necessary to defeat an “existential threat.”
