Watch: Iranian state TV airs footage of ballistic missile launch targeting Israel amid escalating conflict
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 14, 2025, 00:05 IST Amid rising tensions in the Middle East, Iranian state television has released dramatic footage showing the launch of ballistic missiles aimed at Israel, marking a significant and dangerous escalation in the ongoing military conflict between the two nations. The video, aired late Friday night, shows a series of missile batteries firing into the night sky, reportedly from strategic military bases inside Iran. Loud booms, fiery trails, and chants of 'Death to Israel' accompany the broadcast, which was aired with patriotic music and live commentary from state-aligned news anchors. Iranian TV with footage of Iran's ballistic missile launch against Israel. — Aditya Raj Kaul (@AdityaRajKaul) June 13, 2025 This launch comes in direct retaliation to Israel's overnight airstrikes that targeted key nuclear infrastructure in Isfahan and Natanz, as well as military command centers. Iranian officials have confirmed the attack, calling it a 'legitimate response to Zionist aggression.' Public air raid alerts have since been triggered across Israel, with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirming that its Iron Dome and David's Sling air defense systems are currently intercepting incoming threats. No confirmed casualties or impact assessments have been shared yet. The broadcast, intended as both a show of strength and a warning, underscores the dangerous trajectory of this conflict. Global observers are watching closely as the situation continues to unfold in real time.

Israel launches fresh strikes on Iran's nuclear and military infrastructure; Tehran retaliates with missile attack
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 14, 2025, 00:00 IST Tensions between Israel and Iran have escalated into a full-scale conflict after a fresh wave of Israeli airstrikes hit key Iranian nuclear and military targets overnight. The Israeli military confirmed on Friday, June 13, that it has 'destroyed infrastructure critical to Iran's nuclear weapons program,' including sites in Isfahan and Natanz, widely regarded as core to uranium enrichment and weapons-grade material conversion. According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the air force targeted: A facility producing metallic uranium Infrastructure for converting enriched uranium Key laboratories and testing facilities The IDF claimed these strikes mark the 'next stage' in dismantling Iran's nuclear ambitions. In a significant blow to Iran's military leadership, Revolutionary Guard chief Hossein Salami and other senior commanders were reportedly killed. Iran also reported the deaths of six nuclear scientists and alleged civilian casualties, including children—although these reports have not been independently verified. Just hours after the strikes, Iran launched missiles towards Israel, prompting the Israeli military to activate nationwide defense systems. The Israeli public has been advised to enter shelters until further notice, as authorities brace for potential drone and rocket attacks from Iran and its proxies. This marks a dangerous new phase in the Middle East crisis, as U.S. President Donald Trump urged Iran to 'make a deal' over its nuclear program or face 'even more brutal' consequences. Iran has accused the U.S. of backing the Israeli assault—an allegation the White House denies. Israel has also declared a state of emergency, anticipating further retaliation from Tehran in the coming hours. The situation remains volatile, with global leaders calling for urgent de-escalation.
