The situation in West Asia remained tense on Saturday, as Iran retaliated against Israel using drones and multiple ballistic missile strikes.
Israel launched Operation Rising Lion -- a series of strikes on Iranian nuclear sites on June 13. An assault that decapitated Tehran’s chain of command in a matter of a few hours, with several security chiefs being killed.
In response, Iran launched a ballistic missile counter-offensive late at night, lighting up the skies over Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. The strikes killed at least two people and injured several more.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a recorded message on Friday: “We will not allow them to escape safely from this great crime they committed.”
Iran's UN ambassador said 78 people were killed and more than 320 wounded in Israeli attacks.
