Iran struck Tel Aviv with cluster warhead missiles overnight, killing two people near Israel’s commercial centre, as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps carried out what it called retaliation for Israel’s assassination of security chief Ali Larijani.
The IRGC said it deployed Khorramshahr-4 and Qadr missiles — both carrying multiple warheads — alongside Emad and Kheibar Shekan projectiles in what it designated the 61st wave of Operation True Promise 4. The Corps said it struck over 100 targets across Tel Aviv. Shrapnel hit a rail station, forcing Israel’s rail operator to halt services. Air raid sirens sounded across central Israel during the attack.
Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei rejected ceasefire proposals conveyed to the foreign ministry, stating it was not “the right time for peace” until the US and Israel “accept defeat and pay compensation.”
The strikes followed Israel’s killing of Larijani on Monday night, which also killed his son Morteza and deputy Alireza Bayat. Iran confirmed the deaths Tuesday, hours after initially denying them.
The conflict continued to spread. Israel struck Beirut’s Bachoura neighbourhood on Wednesday, killing at least six people and wounding 24 others in the Lebanese capital alone. Separate strikes across southern and eastern Lebanon killed 14 more. Iran also executed Kurosh Keyvani, convicted of supplying Israel’s Mossad with information on sensitive locations inside Iran.
A projectile struck near the Bushehr nuclear power plant Tuesday evening, causing no damage. The IAEA called for restraint to avoid a nuclear accident.
The death toll in Israel from missile strikes since the war began on February 28 now stands at 14.
