Iran warned of retaliation after launching missiles that struck Haifa, Israel, resulting in civilian casualties. This sharp escalation follows an ultimatum from US President Donald Trump regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Despite some interceptions by Israeli air defenses, the threat to critical infrastructure is rising, fueling fears of a broader regional conflict.
Missile strikes from Iran killed four people in Israel's Haifa amid a sustained barrage of attacks. Israeli authorities confirmed that the missiles bypassed air defenses and struck the city directly. Iran frames these daily strikes as retaliation for joint US-Israeli airstrikes targeting its territory.
