Amid the deadly escalation between Iran and Israel, resulting in the death of the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hossein Salami, Israel's Defense Minister has issued a stern warning to Iran. The Defense Minister stated that Tehran will face severe consequences if Iran continues launching missile attacks on Israel.

During an assessment meeting with the army's chief of staff, Israel's defense minister Katz emphasized that 'Tehran will burn' if Iranian Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei persists in firing missiles at the Israeli home front, as reported by The Associated Press.

The Israeli Defense's warning follows the nation's airstrikes on Iran on Saturday, June 13. The airstrikes targeted Iran's military installations, nuclear program, as well as scientists and generals. Explosions were witnessed and heard in Tehran, the capital city.

In retaliation, Iran launched waves of drones and ballistic missiles at Israel, resulting in explosions lighting up the night skies over Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Israel's army reported killing nine senior scientists and experts involved in Iran's nuclear project. The attacks led to 78 casualties and over 320 injuries, as confirmed by Iran's UN ambassador.

Israel's assault involved warplanes and drones that were smuggled into the country in advance to target key facilities, generals, and scientists. This information was reported by the AP.

Israel's recent attacks have raised doubts about the scheduled nuclear talks between the US and Iran, set to take place in Oman. In response to the attacks, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson deemed any further nuclear discussions with the US 'meaningless,' according to state television.

Iran and Israel have been long-term adversaries engaged in a shadow conflict that has significantly influenced Middle Eastern geopolitics. Despite avoiding a full-blown war, both nations have frequently engaged in covert operations and, in Iran's case, through proxy groups.
