Iran Unleashes 180 Missiles on Israel in Major Escalation

Iran launched a major missile attack targeting sites across Israel on Tuesday night, firing approximately 180 missiles. Israeli air defenses intercepted most of the missiles, but some crashed into central and southern Israel. The Pentagon stated that two U.S. destroyers fired 12 interceptors at Iranian missiles headed towards Israel. This attack follows a series of escalations in the region, including an April strike by Israel that killed several leaders of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Syria. In response to the Israeli strikes, Iran threatened attacks on U.S. military bases in the region and launched retaliatory missile strikes on Iranian military sites. The attack is seen as a significant escalation by both Canada and the United States, who condemned it. The U.S. has pledged its support for Israel against Iran, while the U.K. labeled the attack "reckless."
