BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 25. Amid the ongoing
armed conflict in the Middle East, another Iranian missile strike
on Israel has been reported, the statement of the Israel Defense
Forces (IDF) says, Trend reports.
The missiles are reportedly heading toward southern Israel,
triggering alarm systems in major cities, including Beersheba and
its surrounding areas.
Earlier, approximately thirty minutes prior, warnings were
issued for Safed and its vicinity in relation to drones believed to
have been launched from Lebanon.
Since no concrete agreement was reached in negotiations between
the United States and Iran over the nuclear program, the U.S. and
Israel began military airstrikes against Iran on February 28. In
response, Iran launched missile and drone attacks on Israel and
U.S. military facilities located in countries across the region,
starting the same day.
On the first day of the air strikes against Iran, Iran’s Supreme
Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and several high-ranking
military officials were killed. On March 8, Iran’s Assembly of
Experts elected Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran’s third Supreme
Leader by majority vote.
From March 1 through March 5, the confrontation expanded
further, affecting several countries across the Middle East.
The ongoing conflict has significantly threatened the region’s
energy infrastructure and maritime transport. Oil prices have
surged on global markets due to heightened security tensions around
the Strait of Hormuz, prompting several countries to advise their
citizens to leave the region.
