Destruction of Ali Shamkhani’s Residence in Israeli Attack on Iran

In the wake of these devastating strikes, Iran's leadership reacted with fury and vows of severe retribution. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who reportedly moved to an undisclosed location, condemned Israel's actions as a "crime" and warned that the "Zionist regime sealed for itself a bitter and painful destiny." This was swiftly followed by a wave of retaliatory missile attacks launched by Iran towards Israel, leading to further alarms and the activation of Israel's anti-missile defense systems, marking a dangerous new phase of direct military confrontation.
