The IRGC made no effort to hide the scope of the operation, stating that the barrage specifically targeted key Israeli assets: Mossad intelligence headquarters, air force bases, and military communication facilities. According to Iran Wire, the missiles rained down across multiple locations in Israel during the early hours of Tuesday, catching many by surprise.
As part of its psychological warfare campaign, the IRGC issued a chilling warning to Israeli civilians:
“The thunderous missiles of the IRGC’s Air Force will not let you spend a moment outside underground shelters.”
That was followed by an even more disturbing threat:
“You haven’t seen the color of the sun for several days… Be assured that the sound of red alert sirens will not stop for a moment.”
“Either you must choose ‘gradual death’ in hellish life in shelters or save your lives from the 24-hour missile rain and flee as soon as possible from the lands usurped by your ancestors, so that you may survive.”
This brazen act signals a sharp departure from Iran’s previous strategies and places Israel—and much of the Middle East—on high alert. For years, Israeli military planners have warned that Iran’s missile technology was advancing rapidly, and now, it appears the regime is ready to show the world what it’s capable of.
By launching Sejil missiles directly from Iranian territory into Israel, Tehran has upped the ante and may be testing how far it can push before triggering a broader regional war.
The move also comes at a time of deepening political instability and growing anti-Israel sentiment throughout the region. With the U.S. presidential election looming, Iran may be calculating that now is the moment to press its advantage, while Washington remains distracted.
While Israeli officials have yet to release a detailed response, it’s almost certain that retaliation is coming. The Netanyahu government has vowed repeatedly that any direct attack from Iran would be met with full force.
The world is now watching to see whether this situation spirals into an all-out conflict or whether international pressure can somehow rein in further escalation.
What is clear, however, is this: Iran has crossed a line. By launching Sejil missiles into Israel, the Islamic Republic has shattered a decades-old threshold and opened the gates to a far more volatile and dangerous chapter in the Middle East.
