Iran has said that it was fully ready for whatever Israel may come up with.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, gave the order to launch missiles against Israel.
News reported that Iran launched over 180 ballistic missiles into Israel early Tuesday.
The Israeli military said it has received no reports of injuries from the Iranian missile attack.
The Israeli military spokesperson, Rear Adm Daniel Hagari, said the country’s air defenses intercepted many of the incoming missiles, though some landed in central and southern Israel.
However, a senior Iranian official told Reuters that Tehran “is fully ready for any retaliation”.
Meanwhile, the Iranian mission to the United Nations has defended the country’s missile launches against Israel, calling it a response to “terrorist acts” by Israel.
