After downing drones, Iran threatens Israel with 2000 missiles.

Iran announced early Saturday, June 14th, the downing of Israeli drones in the Salmas region in the northwest of the country, confirming they were on a spying mission and violated Iranian airspace. The official Iranian television confirmed that Iranian forces successfully intercepted these drones during reconnaissance and information-gathering operations. Simultaneously, the Iranian army declared readiness to launch around 2000 missiles towards Israel, indicating that the upcoming attacks will be more severe than ever before, with 20 times the scale of previous attacks. The Revolutionary Guard affirmed that the operation against Israel will continue as long as military necessity dictates. On the other side, the Israeli army reported detecting incoming drones from Iran, sounding alarms in several areas including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, prompting residents to seek shelter. They also stated that some of these drones were intercepted by air defense systems. Israeli Defense Minister, Yisrael Katz, warned that the Iranian regime will "pay a heavy price," while the Israeli Air Force commander announced precise airstrikes inside Tehran targeting hundreds of sites, including air defense installations, confirming that Israeli fighter jets flew over the Iranian capital and carried out their missions successfully. The past hours witnessed intense exchange of airstrikes following Israel's largest aerial attack against Iran to date, as part of its efforts to prevent Iran from possessing nuclear weapons. Iranian media reported a new wave of missiles launched towards Israel, while the Israeli army confirmed the continuation of aerial attacks inside Iranian territories. Media outlets reported that Iranian attacks since Friday evening resulted in the death of three individuals and injuries to over ninety others in Israel. In response, Israel activated its Iron Dome systems to counter Iranian missiles, amid high alert in major cities. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for an immediate de-escalation through the "X" platform, stating that Israeli bombing of Iranian nuclear sites and Iranian missile attacks on Tel Aviv threaten to drag the region into a catastrophe, adding: "It is time to stop. Peace and diplomacy must prevail." Despite international warnings, statements from both sides still indicate intentions to continue escalation, amidst an atmosphere of extreme tension and military threats, signaling further violence in the coming days.
