New wave of Iranian strikes hits Haifa after US Airstrikes on Nuclear sites
A new wave of Iranian strikes hit Haifa after US airstrikes on nuclear sites, sparking fears of escalating regional conflict.
Iranian media outlets have reported the start of a new wave of airstrikes targeting Israel. On Sunday, June 22, Tasnim News Agency stated that more than 40 missiles had been launched toward Israeli territory.
According to the Israeli army, several missiles successfully struck targets, including a number of impacts in the city of Haifa. Reports from Reuters and local Israeli media confirmed widespread fires in Haifa after the strikes.
The Iranian barrage comes in retaliation for recent U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. U.S. and regional observers suggest the ongoing cycle of strikes could worsen tensions across the Middle East.
Fox News reported that Israeli air defense systems did not intercept all the incoming missiles. Analysts at the International Crisis Group believe this raises serious questions about Israel’s preparedness for sustained aerial attacks.
Despite the heavy exchange, Iranian officials insisted that the American raids on their nuclear sites caused only limited damage. Iranian state television quoted military sources who claimed most vital nuclear facilities remain intact.
Experts warn that further escalation between Iran, Israel, and the U.S. could destabilize the entire region and worsen the humanitarian situation. According to the United Nations, increased hostilities may hinder vital humanitarian aid to affected populations.
Diplomatic observers emphasize the need for all sides to de-escalate and return to dialogue. The International Crisis Group urges an immediate ceasefire to prevent a broader regional war and protect civilians caught in the crossfire.
