Iran warns it will hit all Israeli infrastructure if attacked

Iran’s Chief of Staff Major General Mohammad Bagheri has vowed to target infrastructure across Israel if its territory is attacked, after Tehran fired around 200 missiles at Tel Aviv that is carrying out its genocidal war in Gaza and striking Lebanon relentlessly.

In a state televised speech, Major General Mohammad Bagheri said the barrage will be repeated with bigger intensity and all infrastructure of the regime will be targeted.

The Iran’s Chief of Staff further said Tehran showed restraint after the US and EU promised Gaza ceasefire following Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh’s murder. He added that the situation was no longer tolerable after Israel killed Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and Iranian Brigadier General Abbas Nilforoushan.

Earlier,Iran fired a salvo of ballistic missiles at Israel on Tuesday in retaliation for Israel’s strikes in Lebanon.

Alarms sounded across Israel and explosions could be heard in Jerusalem and the Jordan River valley after Israelis piled into bomb shelters.

Reporters on state television lay flat on the ground during live broadcasts.

Reuters journalists saw missiles intercepted in the airspace of neighbouring Jordan. As many as 200 missiles had been launched.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on Tuesday they launched tens of missiles toward Israel and warned that if Israel retaliated Tehran’s response would be “more crushing and ruinous”, Iranian state TV reported.

US President Joe Biden said Washington is prepared to help Israel defend itself from the missile attacks launched by Iran and to protect the US military in the region.
