Iran launches new wave of missiles towards Israel after strikes in Beirut

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards launched a wave of ballistic missiles toward Israel on June 7, 2026, striking the Ramat David air base as a 'warning' of expanded retaliation if attacks continue. The Guards stated responses would target all US and Israeli assets in the region, citing unmet ceasefire conditions. Air raid sirens sounded in Haifa and Nazareth as interception efforts were underway, with blasts reported in both cities. US President Donald Trump announced plans to call Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to urge restraint, arguing the Iranian strikes caused no harm and warning retaliation could prolong decades of conflict. Trump emphasized the US was 'very close to a final deal' with Iran and stressed avoiding further escalation to protect diplomatic progress. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf condemned US naval blockades and Israel’s Beirut strikes, calling them violations of agreements and declaring US bases and Israeli assets in the Middle East 'legitimate targets.' His remarks followed Israel’s first attack on Beirut’s southern suburbs since a US-brokered truce plan was announced last week. The escalation risks derailing ceasefire efforts, as Iran has tied any US deal to a halt in Lebanon’s fighting, where Israel invaded in March targeting Iran-backed Hezbollah fighters. Iranian lawmaker Ebrahim Rezaei hinted at a 'decisive and painful' response, though no formal Tehran reaction to the Beirut strikes was immediately confirmed.
