Live: "The murderers of Larijani will pay" says Mojtaba Khamenei - Missile attacks against Israel

The Middle East is entering its 19th day of a dangerous escalation, with the war expanding and now affecting many countries in the region. The United States carried out airstrikes near the Strait of Hormuz, targeting Iranian military facilities related to anti-ship missiles. In Israel, two people were killed when shrapnel from intercepted Iranian missiles fell, while Israeli bombings in central Beirut caused at least six deaths and dozens of injuries. At the same time, tensions are spreading to the Gulf, with missile and drone attacks in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, while alarms sounded in Doha and Bahrain. There was also an attack near a nuclear facility in Bushehr, Iran, without any casualties. Iran is threatening retaliation for the assassination of a high-ranking official and has already launched missile attacks on Israel, stating it is an act of revenge.
