Iran launched a salvo of ballistic missiles at Israel on Tuesday in retaliation for the assassinations of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and IRGC general Abbas Nilforoushan.

The attack came one day after Iran's moderate president Masoud Pezeshkian said he was lied to by US and European officials who promised him there would be a ceasefire if Iran declined to retaliate against Israel for their assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.

The Jewish state instead chose to assassinate Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and IRGC General Abbas Nilforoushan in Lebanon's capitol of Beirut in the largest escalation of the conflict to date.
















"Iran's legal, rational, and legitimate response to the terrorist acts of the Zionist regime--which involved targeting Iranian nationals and interests and infringing upon the national sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran--has been duly carried out," Iran's mission to the UN said in a statement on Tuesday after the attack. "Should the Zionist regime dare to respond or commit further acts of malevolence, a subsequent and crushing response will ensue. Regional states and the Zionists' supporters are advised to part ways with the regime."
