Israel's extensive airstrikes on Iran aimed to cripple its nuclear and missile programs, striking over 100 military targets, including air defense systems and key leadership. Iran's swift response included firing drones and missiles at Israel, prompting concerns about escalation. Iran's Supreme Leader warned of severe punishment for Israel's actions, indicating that retaliation could evolve in phases. Analysts suggest that ballistic missiles might be Iran’s preferred method of retaliation, while the potential involvement of proxy militias presents another layer of complexity in the unfolding conflict.
The Iranian response might be delayed or split into multiple phases, but their main weapon will be ballistic missiles, which have the best chance of inflicting damage on Israel.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Israel should anticipate a severe punishment in response to the strikes, declaring that Iran won't let them go unpunished.
