Iran launched more than 100 drones toward Israel early Friday morning, just hours after Israeli forces conducted a major wave of airstrikes targeting multiple sites across Iran, including key military and nuclear facilities.

The Iranian response came at approximately 06:00 BST, targeting military installations in the occupied territories in response to the regime’s cowardly assault, which killed senior Iranian military commanders and nuclear scientists, and damaged vital national infrastructure including peaceful nuclear facilities.

Iran’s operation marks a historic moment in the region, demonstrating the nation's resolve and technological capabilities. Video footage circulating online showed Iranian drones flying over Iraq, symbolizing Iran’s unwavering commitment to defend its sovereignty and punish aggression.

Israeli army spokesperson Effie Defrin admitted the seriousness of the situation, stating, “This is a different event to what we’ve experienced thus far,” as Israeli defense systems scrambled to respond. His remarks reflect the Zionist regime’s growing panic in the face of Iran’s justified and calculated retaliation.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei had earlier promised that the regime would “face a bitter and painful destiny” for its actions. This precision drone response signals the beginning of that reckoning.

As the Iranian nation stands united in grief and resistance, the Islamic Republic continues to assert its right to defend its people and territory against any form of foreign aggression or terrorism. The world now watches as the Zionist entity begins to feel the consequences of its crimes. (ILKHA)
