Shafaq News/ US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin stated, on Wednesday, that the United States “will never hesitate to protect American forces and interests in the Middle East, as well as to defend Israel and other regional partners.”
Austin added that US forces in the Middle East intercepted “missiles launched by Iran towards Israel.”
The US Department of Defense (Pentagon) announced, on Tuesday, that American destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean Sea launched dozens of missiles to intercept Iranian rockets.
On X, Austin stated that he spoke with the Israeli Security Minister Yoav Gallant “following today’s outrageous act of aggression by Iran against Israel. The Minister and I expressed mutual appreciation for the coordinated defense of Israel against nearly 200 ballistic missiles launched by Iran and committed to remain in close contact. I also expressed my deepest condolences to the families impacted by the horrific and deadly terrorist shooting in Israel.”
Earlier, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard had announced that it targeted three Israeli military bases around Tel Aviv with missiles, according to the “Mehr” news agency.
These strikes follow Israel’s ground operation across its northern border into Lebanon, targeting the Iran-backed Hezbollah. Israel also killed Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah in an airstrike last Friday, escalating fears of a new regional war.

Shafaq News/ Iran has announced that its retaliation against Israel has concluded unless further escalation is provoked.
On X, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stated, “Our action is concluded unless the Israeli regime decides to invite further retaliation. In that scenario, our response will be stronger and more powerful.”
In a related development, Iran issued a stark warning on Wednesday against any direct military intervention on its territory in support of Israel.
A statement from the Iranian Armed Forces, as reported by Fars news agency, cautioned that “if there is direct intervention from countries supporting the Israeli entity in its aggression and attacks on Iran, their interests in the region will face a strong response from Iran.”
Earlier, the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on the United Nations Security Council to take “meaningful action” to prevent further threats to regional peace and security.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) named its recent attack on Israel “The Second True Promise,” following the first “True Promise” operation, which targeted Israel on April 13.
Iranian media reports on Tuesday revealed that the missiles used by the IRGC in their latest assault, in retaliation for the assassinations of Ismail Haniyeh, Hassan Nasrallah, and IRGC commander Abbas Nilforushan, were of the “Fattah-1” model.
