Iran attacks Israel: consequences and international reactions!

Tel Aviv, Israel - On June 13, 2025, the military escalation in the Middle East reached a new dimension. LoudPolski radioIran fired 180 ballistic rockets on Israel. Although most of these rockets were successfully intercepted, the detonations in several cities were audible, including in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The Israeli military stated that there was no acute danger after about an hour.

The offensive was interpreted as a retaliation for the death of prominent leaders, including Ismail Hanije from Hamas, Hassan Nasrallah from the Hisbollah and General Abbas Nilforushan from Iran. The Iranian revolutionary guards already threatened to carry out further attacks if Israel should react to this rocket attack.

International reactions and local effects

The Israeli defense forces described the attack as serious and announced consequences. In response to the rocket attacks, airspace was closed via Israel for civil air traffic, which led to the temporary hiring of the company at the Ben Gurion Airport. In the attacks, Israel had two slightly injured people in Tel Aviv and a dead Palestinian in Jericho.

US President Joe Biden said the willingness of the United States to support Israel and protect American staff in the region. Foreign Minister Antony Flasche called the Iranian attack "absolutely unacceptable" and called for an international conviction of this procedure. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and France Prime Minister Michel Barnier also commented on the impending escalation in the region.

Escalation of violence in Lebanon

The British Prime Minister Keir Strander sharply condemned the Iranian actions and called for de -escalation. In the suburbs of Beirut, reports on joy shots became loud, while Hamas praised the rocket attack as "heroic". This represents Iran's second direct attack on Israel. The first attack took place in April and included hundreds of rockets and drones.
