Israel and Iran Exchange Large-Scale Missile and Air Strikes
On June 8, 2026, Israel conducted series of retaliatory airstrikes across central and western Iran, including Tehran, Isfahan, and Tabriz, targeting air-defense systems and ballistic missile facilities. This followed a massive Iranian missile barrage targeting Israel late Sunday evening, which itself was launched in response to an Israeli strike on a Hezbollah command center in Beirut. The exchange represents the most significant escalation since the April 2026 ceasefire, threatening to reignite full-scale regional war.
