Netanyahu Warns Of 'More Is On The Way' As Iran Vows 'No Leniency' After 'Rising Lion'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the Iranian people, urging them to rise against their regime and declaring that Israel had launched a major offensive targeting Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure. The strikes reportedly killed senior military commanders and nuclear scientists, destroyed a key enrichment facility, and damaged Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities. Netanyahu warned of further action, claiming Iran is at its weakest. In response, Iran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles at Israeli cities, including Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, triggering air raid sirens and widespread evacuations. Explosions lit up the skies, though no casualties were immediately reported. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei vowed retaliation, stating that Israel had initiated a war. The situation marks a significant escalation in long-standing tensions over Iran’s nuclear program, which Israel views as a critical threat. International observers fear the conflict could spiral into a broader regional war across the Middle East.
