US-Israel-Iran War News Today Live Updates: As aerial attacks in West Asia entered the sixth day, Iran launched missiles at Israel early Thursday, soon after an American submarine sank an Iranian warship.
With the attack, Tehran threatened the destruction of military and economic infrastructure across the region. Meanwhile, Israel announced the incoming attack shortly after its forces said they had launched fresh strikes in Lebanon targeting the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group.
The development comes as the United States and Israel intensified their bombardment Wednesday of Iran’s military forces. The intensity of the attacks prompted the state television to announce the postponement of the mourning ceremony for Iran’s slain Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Khamenei, 86, was killed in the coordinated US-Israeli strikes on Sunday. The US and Israel launched strikes on Iran on February 28, as negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear programme faltered with the Middle East plunging into a renewed military conflict.
