Iran war live: Tehran launches new wave of missiles towards Israel amid fears London under threat


Iran war live: Tehran launches new wave of missiles towards Israel amid fears London under threat

Tehran has launched a wave of missile attacks towards Israel last night as fears grow about its ability to strike European capitals, including London.

More than 100 people have been wounded in southern Israel after missile strikes were launched overnight.

Israel’s ambulance service said 84 people were injured, 10 of those seriously.

On Friday night, Israel fired two missiles towards Diego Garcia, sparking warnings about the range of Iranian weapons.

The island lies 2,360 miles from Iran, well beyond the 1,240 miles which was thought to be the outer limit of the regime’s reach. 

IDF Cheif of Staff Eyal Zamir said the range of the missiles posed a danger to the world, including European capitals.

Meanwhile, President Trump threatened to destroy Iran’s power plants if the Strait of Hormuz is not opened within 48 hours.

Iran warned on Sunday it would target US energy infrastructure if Trump carried out his threat.

One man killed by Hezbollah anti-tank missile in northern Israel

A man has been killed in a suspected anti-tank missile attack in the northern border town of Misgav Am.

The Israeli ambulance service said two vehicles caught fire.

Misgav Am sits near Israel’s northern border with Lebanon.

Sirens were sounded in the community an hour after the attack.

Hezbollah later took responsibility. In a statement, the group claims to have targeted a ‘gathering of Israeli enemy army soldiers in the settlement of Misgav Am with a rocket barrage’ at 8 a.m.

The IDF says it detected fire from Lebanon at that time, which struck two vehicles, killing a man.

UK has no defences to stop Iranian missiles as it’s revealed they can now hit London

Britain would be forced to rely on American missile defence systems stationed in Europe if Iran launched a rocket attack on the UK similar to the one attempted on Diego Garcia this weekend.

The warning came after Tehran fired two ballistic missiles on Friday night towards the base in the Indian Ocean, which is jointly operated by the US and the UK.

The island lies 2,360 miles from Iran, well beyond the 1,240 miles which was thought to be the outer limit of the regime’s reach.

It potentially puts Paris, 2,609 miles away, and even London – 2,750 miles – within Iran’s range if, as some strategists fear, the country uses its Simorgh space launch technology to extend its missile range. RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus is just 1,000 miles from Tehran.

And Israel warned last night that Iran’s new missile can hit Europe.

Israel denis striking nuclear facility in Iran

Israel has denied responsibility for the strike on Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility

The site sits nearly 220 kilometers (135 miles) southeast of Tehran. The Iranian judiciary’s official news agency, Mizan, said there was no leakage.

The International Atomic Energy Agency has said the bulk of Iran’s estimated 970 pounds (440 kilograms) of enriched uranium is elsewhere, beneath the rubble at its Isfahan facility.

The Pentagon declined to comment on the strike on Natanz, which was also hit in the first week of the war and in the 12-day war last June.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said such strikes posed a “real risk of catastrophic disaster throughout the Middle East.”

Israel’s Kan news reported that the US had indeed struck the facility, using “bunker buster” bombs to target the site. It cited unspecified sources.

Children among those injured as buildings hit in Israeli city of Arad

First responders pictured in the aftermath of an attack of the city of Arad, Israel which has wounded 100 people.

Among the injured, were a 12-year-old boy and a five-year-old girl, both reported to be in serious condition.

In a message on X, Benjamin Netanyahu said: ‘Just a short while ago, I spoke with the Mayor of Arad, Yair Maayan, and asked him to convey, on behalf of all Israeli citizens, our prayers for the peace of the injured.

‘I have instructed the Director General of my office to provide all the necessary assistance together with all government ministries.

‘I strengthen the emergency and rescue forces operating in the field right now, and I call on everyone to heed the instructions of the Home Front Command.

‘We are determined to continue to strike our enemies on all fronts.’

Israel’s military said it was not able to intercept missiles that hit the southern cities of Dimona and Arad, the largest near the center in Israel’s sparsely populated Negev desert. It was the first time Iranian missiles penetrated Israel’s air defense systems in the area around the nuclear site.

Rescue workers said the direct hit in Arad caused widespread damage across at least 10 apartment buildings, three of them badly damaged and in danger of collapsing.

The Israeli Health Ministry has reported that 303 people have been taken to hospitals as a result of the conflict with Iran and Hezbollah.

Israel launched a wave of strikes on Tehran last night

The Israeli military said on Sunday it was striking Tehran just hours after Iran’s attacks on southern Israel.

The IDF said a strategic research and development facility belonging to the Iranian military was struck by an Israeli missile.

It said the Malek-ashtar’ University facility was utilized by the Iranian terror regime’s military industries and ballistic missiles array to develop nuclear weapon components and weapons.

The University is under Western sanctions over its activities relating to Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs

Tehran missiles ‘can reach European capitals’ – IDF Cheif

Tehran fired long-range missiles for the first time on Saturday, expanding the risk of attacks beyond the Middle East, while an Iranian strike landed near Israel’s secretive nuclear reactor about 13 km (8 miles) southeast of Dimona.

Iran launched two ballistic missiles with a range of 4,000 km (2,500 miles) at the U.S.-British ‌military base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, said Israeli military chief Eyal Zamir.

‘These missiles are not intended to strike Israel. Their range reaches European capitals – Berlin, Paris, and Rome are all within direct threat range,’ Zamir said in a statement.

Trump will ‘obliterate’ Iran’s power plants in 48 hours if Strait of Hormuz does not reop

President Trump has threatened to destroy Iran’s power plants if the Strait of Hormuz is not opened within 48 hours.

Iran warned on Sunday it would target US energy infrastructure, if Trump carried out his threat.

Trump made the threat as US Marines and heavy landing craft continue to head to the region.

More than 2,000 people have been killed during the war the US and Israel launched on February 28, which has upended markets, spiked fuel costs, fueled global inflation fears and convulsed the postwar Western alliance.

Trump posted on social media:’If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!’
