Iran launched approximately 15 ballistic missiles at Israel on June 23, following U.S. precision strikes days earlier targeting Iran’s Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites. Sirens wailed across northern Israel and explosions were reported in Jerusalem and Ashdod, prompting civilians to take shelter. The Israeli military confirmed multiple launches, with at least some missiles impacting Israeli territory. Iran framed the escalation as retaliation for U.S. intervention and warned former President Trump it would “end this war.” This marks the 11th consecutive day of intense Israel‑Iran hostilities. Regional and global leaders are urging restraint amid concerns over destabilising actions near the Strait of Hormuz and soaring oil prices. (PC: India Today)
