Iran Launches Missile Barrage at Israel Amidst Rising Tensions

Tel Aviv, June 23 (AP) Israel's military reported that Iran launched a missile barrage targeting Israel, expected to arrive later Monday morning. Iran subsequently launched an additional round of missiles, according to the Israeli military. Sirens were activated in both Jordan and central Israel.

Meanwhile, Iranian General Abdolrahim Mousavi, the chief of joint staff of the armed forces, issued a warning on Monday to the United States. He stated that the recent U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites have granted Iranian forces a "free hand" to take action against U.S. interests and military forces. Mousavi emphasized that Iran would not hesitate to respond to the attacks, which he claimed violated Iran's sovereignty and equated to an invasion. His comments were reported by the state-run IRNA news agency.
