Iran has fired ballistic missiles toward Israel, according to Iranian state-linked sources, marking a major escalation in the ongoing direct military conflict between the two nations.
This attack follows recent Israeli strikes on Iranian targets and raises fears of a broader regional war. The use of long-range missiles signals a dangerous leap in hostilities, with no immediate confirmation of casualties or damage.
Geopolitical analysts warn this increases the likelihood of further Israeli retaliation, dimming prospects for any cease-fire or peace deal by mid-2026. Global markets are now pricing in heightened risks, including potential U.S. military involvement.
Watch for official responses from Israeli and U.S. military sources, which could indicate the next phase of this confrontation.
