Iran Tests Ballistic Missiles in Preparation for Strike on Israel 🔗
Iran conducted war drills, including the test firing of advanced ballistic missiles, with the aim of preparing for a potential strike on Israeli military sites housing American-made F-35 fighter jets. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) simulated destroying hangars housing the F-35s using ballistic missiles. Tensions in the region were further heightened by a House Intelligence Committee disclosure of a serious national security threat and a massive explosion at an Iranian gas line, which Iran claimed was a terrorist act of sabotage. Additionally, Iran's foreign minister met with the Hamas terror group's senior leadership, indicating continued backing for Hamas in its conflict with Israel.
