Iran launched a third wave of ballistic missiles on Friday evening targeting seven strategic sites in the occupied territories, resulting in 17 injuries, fires, and the destruction of dozens of buildings.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard confirmed responsibility for the attack, stating that it targeted the Israeli Ministry of Defense in retaliation for Israeli strikes on nuclear and military facilities within Iran, including the Natanz facility and targets in Isfahan.

Sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem amid explosions and rising smoke, while the Israeli occupation activated its air defense systems and closed all its embassies worldwide in anticipation of an Iranian escalation.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump urged Tehran via “Truth Social” to negotiate before “it’s too late.”

Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei announced the deaths of several military leaders and scientists in the Israeli attack early Friday, asserting that their colleagues would immediately continue their missions.

The attack resulted in human and material losses at nuclear and military facilities, including Natanz and Isfahan, amidst official condemnation and a pledge for a decisive response to the Israeli occupation.
