Tehran launched a major missile strike against Israel, describing it as an act of 'self-defence' following recent Israeli strikes and significant casualties among its leadership and citizens.
Iran's missile attack represents a stark escalation in a regional conflict that had previously seen months of 'strict restraint,' suggesting a calculated response to increased hostility from Israel.
Domestic political pressures in Iran suggest that the leadership felt compelled to respond to perceived weakness after not retaliating against Israel's earlier actions, especially assassination attempts on Iranian figures.
The strike's boldness has raised concerns about escalating regional tensions, with critics fearing it could lead to the largest war in decades due to escalating cycles of violence.
