BREAKING:⚡️🇮🇷🇮🇱🇺🇸 Iran launches another wave of missiles towards Israel.

Iran launched a new wave of missile and drone strikes on Sunday targeting US military bases in the region and Israel, state media said, in retaliation for a massive attack that killed supreme leader Ali Khamenei.

Twenty-seven US bases in the region, as well as Israel’s military headquarters and a defense industries complex in Tel Aviv, were among the targets, Iranian state TV said.

Air raid sirens sounded and explosions were heard over Jerusalem on Sunday after the Israeli military said it had detected missiles launched from Iran towards Israel.

“Sirens were sounded in several areas across the country, following the identification of missiles launched from Iran toward the State of Israel,” the military said.

“At this time, the Israeli Air Force is operating to intercept and strike threats where necessary to remove the threat.”

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said earlier on Sunday it would launch the “most ferocious” operation in history against Israel and US bases.

Iran targeted Israel and American allies in the Gulf on Sunday in retaliatory strikes over the killing of the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as the United States and Israel pressed on with a high-risk military campaign that analysts say could lead to a lengthy war with no clear off-ramp.

Iran’s leaders vowed that Ayatollah Khamenei’s assassination would not deter them. The country’s top national security official, Ali Larijani, said an interim committee would run the country until a new leader was chosen. And he said Iran would hit Israeli and American targets “with a force they have never experienced before.”

Three U.S. service members have been killed in action and five have been seriously wounded in the conflict, the Pentagon said on Sunday. United States Central Command did not say where the troops were killed, but said that several other troops “sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions and are in the process of being returned to duty.”

Iranian missile barrages repeatedly targeted Israel on Sunday, forcing much of the country into fortified shelters. The Israeli ambulance service said nine people were killed and nearly 30 others wounded in Beit Shemesh, a city about 18 miles west of Jerusalem, making it the worst casualty event in Israel since the conflict started.

Explosions again resounded in Qatar, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates as local air defenses sought to repel Iranian drones. One person was killed and more than 30 were injured in the Iranian attacks in Kuwait, the country’s health ministry said on Sunday.

The Israeli military said on Sunday that its air force was again bombarding “the heart of Tehran.” Videos verified by The New York Times showed two huge plumes of gray and white smoke rising over Tehran as airstrikes resumed.

HRANA, an Iranian rights group based in Washington, said late Saturday that at least 133 civilians had been killed and 200 others wounded in the strikes. Iranian state media reported that dozens of children had been killed at a girls’ elementary school near a naval base. The U.S. and Israeli militaries did not comment. The casualties from the conflict could not be independently confirmed.

Across the region, many were still trying to understand the extent of the fallout from the stunning events since early Saturday, which began with a surprise U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran and ended with President Trump’s announcement that the ayatollah was dead.

While some ordinary Iranians celebrated the end of Mr. Khamenei’s authoritarian rule, his death also created deep uncertainty about Iran’s future. Israeli and American officials are hoping the attacks on Iran’s leadership, military, and missile program will degrade the country’s ability to fight back, but a more vulnerable Iran could also be more unpredictable.
