Nexus News Alert | Tehran / Jerusalem, 7 June 2026 — Iran has launched a barrage of missiles towards Israel in retaliation after Israeli strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs, which Tehran said “crossed all red lines”. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) described the attack as a “warning” to Israel amid its continued operations in southern Lebanon.
Iran fires missiles at Israel marks a significant escalation despite a recent US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.
Key Developments
- Multiple rounds of missiles were fired starting around 10 PM local time (19:00 GMT) on Sunday.
- Israeli air defences intercepted most missiles, with sirens sounding across Israel.
- Iran’s IRGC confirmed targeting Ramat David airbase with ballistic missiles.
- The attack was in response to Israeli strikes on Dahiyeh (southern Beirut suburbs) that killed at least two and injured 11.
Statements from Both Sides
Iran’s IRGC stated:
“Tonight’s operation was a warning. If the aggressions are repeated, the responses will be broader.”
Mohsen Rezaee, military adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader, added:
“This response is a warning to stop their evil; any new action will be met with a more crushing response.”
Israeli officials said the military hit a Hezbollah command centre in the latest strikes on Beirut.
Trump’s Reaction
U.S. President Donald Trump said he would call Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu immediately and urged restraint:
“The Iranian strikes didn’t hurt anybody. Hopefully, Israel is not going to retaliate… We are very close to a final deal with Iran. I don’t want it to blow up.”
