Iran launches missiles against Israel in counter-strike after vowing a 'crushing response'

  Tehran has vowed a 'crushing' response in retaliation for a daylight missile strike by the United States and Israel, as Israeli citizens were seen fleeing to their shelters amid warnings of several incoming missiles launched by Iran.

Explosions have also been heard across Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait and Abu Dhabi sparking fears the Middle East may now be on the brink of all out war. In Bahrain, officials confirmed the headquarters of the US Navy's 5th Fleet had been targeted by a missile attack. 

Shortly after 8am, the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) said it had identified ballistic missiles launched from Iran toward Israel, with defensive systems operating to 'intercept the threat'. 

The IDF updated minutes later to warn 'an additional barrage' had been detected, with a third wave of missiles reported just after 10.30am. Several areas have reported missile fragments falling to the ground. A man in his 50s was reported to have been lightly injured amid a shockwave in northern Israel.

The Home Front Command in Israel had sent alerts to mobile phones in the areas thought to be targeted warning citizens to head for their safe rooms and shelters. Sirens originally sounded across Tel Aviv, with the alerts later heard in Jerusalem, as well as across northern and southern Israel. 

Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv has announced it will remain closed until at least Monday, with airlines including the Lufthansa group suspending flights for the next week to Israel and across the Middle East. Israel has also called up 20,000 reservists, in addition to the 50,000 reservists currently on duty. 

The IDF told civilians that they must remain in bomb shelters until further notice. 'You are requested to continue following the Home Front Command instructions and the guidelines distributed to you. You must remain in a protected area until an official notice is given,' the army said. Images emerging show hospital patients being placed in a car park at Sourasky Medical Center in Tel Aviv for safety, following the sounding of sirens.

Trump targets Iran's Supreme Leader in first wave of joint attack with Israel as Tehran strikes back at four US bases across region and launches missiles at Tel Aviv

 'Surrender or Die': Trump vows to topple Iran's Islamic dictators as he launches attack with Israel and vows to 'raze their missile program to the ground'

Israel launched a series of attacks on Iran on Saturday morning, in coordination with the United States. Thick smoke was seen billowing from buildings in downtown Tehran, allegedly near the offices of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Saturday morning's daylight attack comes amid weeks of knife-edge tensions building up between Donald Trump and the Ayatollah.

The first strikes on Iran, which follow weeks of tensions building between Washington and Tehran, are believed to have targeted the offices of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. However, officials said the 86-year-old, who has not been seen in public for days, is not in Tehran and has been transferred to a secure location. 

Iran said there would be a 'crushing response' with explosions rocking northern Israel shortly after 8am on Saturday morning. The Israeli military said it had identified ballistic missiles launched from Iran towards Israel, with defensive systems operating to 'intercept the threat'. 

Blasts have also rocked Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait and Abu Dhabi sparking fears the Middle East may now be on the brink of all out war. In Bahrain, officials confirmed that the headquarters of the US Navy's 5th Fleet had been targeted by a missile attack - with footage shared on social media showing a large plume of smoke rising into the sky.  

Explosions have also been heard in the Syrian city of Damascus and in the city of Sidon in southern Lebanon, apparently as a result of Israeli missile interceptions. President Trump announced today the United States had begun 'major combat operations' in Iran with explosions heard in five cities across the country. 

In a video posted to Truth Social, he claimed Iran had continued to expand its nuclear programme and has plans to develop missiles to reach the US. The operation in the Middle East has been dubbed 'Epic Fury' by the US Department of Defence, which Trump has renamed the Department of War. 

'We are going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground, it will be totally, again, obliterated,' Trump said in his announcement. 

'We're going to annihilate their navy, we're going to ensure that the region's terrorist proxies can no longer destabilise the region or the world and attack our forces, and no longer use their IEDs or roadside bombs as they are sometimes called, to gravely wound and kill thousands and thousands of people, including many Americans.

'And we will ensure that Iran does not attain a nuclear weapon – a very simple message: They will never have a nuclear weapon.' The UK Government said its priority is 'the safety of UK nationals' in the Middle East but that it is 'ready to protect our interests'. A Government spokesperson said: 'Iran must never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon and that is why we have continually supported efforts to reach a negotiated solution.

'Our immediate priority is the safety of UK nationals in the region and we will provide them with consular assistance, available 24/7. 'As part of our longstanding commitments to the security of our allies in the Middle East, we have a range of defensive capabilities in the region, which we have recently bolstered. We stand ready to protect our interests. 'We do not want to see further escalation into a wider regional conflict.'

Now We Wait for War with Iran to Begin as a Rare 6 Planet Parade and a Blood Moon Eclipse Loom

by Michael Snyder - https://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/now-we-wait-for-war-with-iran-to-begin-as-a-rare-6-planet-parade-and-a-blood-moon-eclipse-loom/

Negotiations with Iran have reached a breaking point just as a parade of 6 planets is appearing in the night sky and a major blood moon eclipse is approaching next week. The skeptics will continue to insist that this is “just a coincidence” even as the missiles start flying. The third round of talks between the United States and Iran has ended in Geneva, and they produced nothing. The U.S. wanted Iran to transfer all enriched uranium out of the country, to cease all future uranium enrichment, to destroy all Iranian nuclear facilities and to agree that all restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program will be permanent. It is being reported that Iran flatly rejected all of those proposals…

In Geneva talks, Iran rejected the idea of transferring uranium stockpiles abroad, and objected to ending uranium enrichment, dismantling its nuclear facilities and permanent restrictions on its program, The Wall Street Journal reported citing people familiar with the talks.

In addition, the Iranians would not even talk about any restrictions on their ballistic missile program or their support for terrorist proxies throughout the Middle East.

Brink Of War: The Ayatollahs Find Themselves on the Chopping Block

By Amir Tsarfati - https://harbingersdaily.com/brink-of-war-the-ayatollahs-find-themselves-on-the-chopping-block/

Shalom from a nation which is once again on the brink of war! Another week has passed as Israel has remained in a holding pattern while other people posture over our fate. No matter what is decided between the United States and Iran, we will be affected. If America strikes, we will be drawn into the ensuing conflict. If President Trump settles for negotiations, then it will be left to Israel to do what’s necessary to protect ourselves against an Iranian assault. Undoubtedly, an Iran left restrained only by words and promises will eventually come against us. We will not sit back idly and wait for that to happen.

There is an irony to the timing of all of this. Next Monday evening will begin Purim, an annual reminder of how the Jews were threatened with annihilation by the evil Haman. But one woman, Queen Esther, risked her life exposing the plot, thereby saving her people. The term “Purim” refers not to the genocidal plans, but the lots that were cast to select the date. To Haman and the Persians, it was never about the many lives that would be lost. It was just the Jews, no big loss. Instead, they were more concerned about the proper timing for the slaughter so that it could be done right.

The Deadline Has Arrived, and AI Models Are Giving Their Predictions for When the U.S. Will Attack Iran

by Michael Snyder - https://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/the-deadline-has-arrived-and-ai-models-are-giving-their-predictions-for-when-the-u-s-will-attack-iran/

Most people don’t realize this, but an apocalyptic war with Iran would be a major turning point in the history of the world. Once the missiles start flying, nothing will ever be the same again. As you will see below, AI models are telling us when they think that moment will arrive. The only way that war can be averted is if a diplomatic solution can be found. That is why the negotiations that will be held in Geneva on Thursday are so important…

The mood in Tehran on the eve of the third round of talks with Washington appears to be a mix of guarded hope and tightening anxiety.

Negotiators are set to meet in Geneva on Thursday in discussions that could prove decisive, particularly if reports are accurate that Washington has set informal deadlines for progress.

Public messaging inside Iran reflects both anticipation and unease as officials brace for what could be a pivotal round.

Mamdani & The Mahdi - A Reminder of What Radical Islam Wants to Do with Infidels

By PNW Staff - https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=9601

Something deeply serious is unfolding beneath the surface of America’s cultural calm. It is not merely about politics. It is about worldview, prophecy, power—and the ideas shaping leaders in positions of influence. New York mayor Zohran Mamdani and his recent appearance at the Al-Khoei Islamic Center have ignited concern among those who recognize that theology is never just theory. It is fuel. And depending on how it is interpreted, it can either build civilizations—or burn them.

According to material circulated by watchdog organizations including the Middle East Media Research Institute, an imam at the mosque gathering Mamdani attended was reported to have prayed for followers to be counted among those awaiting the Mahdi and to witness victory over unbelievers through his sword. Those words are not mild or symbolic. They echo themes found in militant interpretations of Twelver Shiite eschatology that envision a final global triumph of Islam over all who refuse submission.
