CAIRO – 22 June 2025: At least 86 Israelis have been injured by Iranian missile strikes on various areas in Israel, according to Israeli reports, hours after the US announced “obliterating” key nuclear facilities in Iran’s Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan in precision strikes on Sunday.
The Times of Israel reported a ballistic missile strike on the northern Israeli city of Haifa although no sirens sounded.
The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) announced conducting the 20th wave of attacks on Israel since Tel Aviv announced hitting Iranian nuclear sites and assassinating top military officials and senior scientists over a week ago.

In a statement reported by the Iranian semi-official news agency Tasnim, the IRGC said it launched 40 ballistic missiles on Israel in their latest attack within the Operation True Promise III.
The IRGC announced targeting Israel with multiwarhead Kheibarshekan ballistic missiles for the first time.
They noted that modern and surprising tactics were employed to increase the missiles’ accuracy and effectiveness.
Among the targets of Sunday’s missile attack, the IRGC says, were Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv, the Israeli biological research center, and replacement command-and-control centers.
As Israel and Iran have traded fire since 13 June resulting in fatalities in both nations, the IRGC stated on Sunday that the Iranian Armed Forces have not yet unleashed the capacities of their main sections.
Sunday’s missile attack obviously comes in retaliation for US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, an operation that US President Donald Trump described as “very successful.”
He told Fox News that six bunker-buster bombs were dropped on Fordow, while other nuclear sites were hit by 30 Tomahawk missiles.
The impact of the US attacks on the Iranian sites is not yet known but Trump claimed that key enrichment facilities there were “totally and completely obliterated.”
Trump warned Iran that any retaliation “will be met with force far greater than what was witnessed tonight.”
"We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home.… pic.twitter.com/AqCLmaLYJb

The US president, who once vowed to end wars and bring peace to the world, threatened further attacks on Iran if Tehran does not agree to peace.
In a speech after the attacks, Trump said Iran's future holds “either peace or tragedy,” warning that the US will go after other targets “if peace does not come quickly.”
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the US attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities will “have everlasting consequences,” stressing that Iran “reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interest and people.”

The Iranian foreign ministry accused the US of “launching a dangerous war against Iran.”
Tehran called for an emergency UN Security Council meeting to condemn the US attacks.
Since the start of the Israel-Iran war, more than 430 people have been killed in Iran and 24 more have been killed in Israel according to official figures, while hundreds have been injured in each country.
