Iran Launches Major Missile Barrage On Israeli Cities by God1000(op): 2:51pm On Jun 20, 2025
Iran has launched a significant missile barrage on major cities across Israel, according to reports.

Nationwide alerts have been issued, with residents advised to seek shelter immediately, according to the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF).

“At this time, the Air Force is working to intercept and attack wherever necessary to eliminate the threat,” the IDF said.

Photographs from Tel Aviv show thick smoke rising from affected areas, while missile strikes have also been reported in the southern Negev region and the northern city of Haifa.

At least two people are reported to have been injured in the attacks.

Police have confirmed the impact of some missiles, but as of yet, the sites have not been officially confirmed.

Emergency services remain on high alert.

Do you know why Iran has reduced the number of missile launches towards Israel? Because the Iron Dome doesn't work effectively when many are launched at once, and that could affect civilians seriously."

Israel is not winning this war, I can bet my two balls on it

What's more interesting is that the so called iron dome has become a textbook chapter of how things shouldn't be propagated

What a time to alive. Iran has been a source of happiness to many of recent. The online space is agog, and wish it never ends.


God bless Supreme Leader Ali Hosseini Khamenei

God bless His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Soon you will be crying ge**nocide in Iran here and free iran. We are waiting peacefully and quetly. All top generals gone, Khamenei rumoured gone, over 350 casualties in Iran and 1500 wounded, Hezbollah, Houthies, Hamas, Syria rebels all decimated and you are still here dreaming of a win?

How little can human brain cells be? 🤣🤣

CoronaVirusPro:
Only the US can take on Iran. If it’s 1 vs 1, Israel will become a car park.

That country is too small. Even Nigeria will level Israel if US steps aside.
🔹 Nuclear Edge:
Israel is a nuclear power with over 80 warheads (Stockholm Int’l Peace Research Institute), while Iran and Nigeria have zero. Even Iran’s ex-president Rafsanjani admitted Israel’s nukes could crush the Muslim world’s strategy.

🔹 Military Tech:
Israel builds missile defense systems (Iron Dome, Arrow), spy satellites, and combat drones used globally. Iran still buys parts from China. Nigeria relies on foreign help to fight Boko Haram.

🔹 Economic Power:
Israel’s GDP per capita is $55,000+, vs. Iran’s ~$3,800 and Nigeria’s ~$2,400. Israel’s tech exports alone outmatch Nigeria and Iran’s total export value.

🔹 Startup Superpower:
More startups per capita than any country. Google, Intel, and Apple have R&grin centers in Israel—not in Nigeria or Iran.

🔹 Respected by Enemies:
Iranian generals openly fear Israeli strikes. Nigeria’s government has repeatedly sought Israeli help in counter-terrorism and agriculture.


Tiny Israel = Nuclear, Tech, and Economic giant.
Iran + Nigeria = Oil-dependent, struggling economies.
Even their own leaders admit it. Facts don’t lie.

what's there to cry about, Iran has the ability to fight alone as they have demonstrated so far, but Israel cannot even reach Iran without US tanker refueling aircrafts.

At this rate, Iran will flatten Israel if america doesn't get involved fully

Not really, they deployed faster and more advanced missiles, reducing Israeli warning times from around 10 minutes to just six. Like the dreaded and unstoppable Sejjil Missile AKA the Dancing missile.

There is no need to overwhelm the iron dome as the dancing missile cannot be stopped, so you just fire one or two and be sure to hit the target.

Right now from videos I have seen from Israel, the citizens are begining to confront IDF personel on the streets screaming "You brought this on us, who did you ask before attacking Iran"

Fight alone you say?? You have forgotten that America is the one stopping Israel from taking out Kahamenei? 🤣



🔹 1948 Arab-Israeli War (War of Independence)
Aggressors: Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia

Outcome: Israel survived and expanded territory despite being a brand-new state with no formal army.

🔹 1956 Suez Crisis
Aggressor: Egypt (nationalized Suez Canal, blocked Israeli shipping)

Outcome: Israel invaded Sinai with British and French support. Egypt defeated militarily.

🔹 1967 Six-Day War
Aggressors: Egypt, Syria, Jordan (troop buildup, closure of Straits of Tiran)

Outcome: In just 6 days, Israel captured Sinai Peninsula, Gaza, West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Golan Heights.

🔹 1973 Yom Kippur War
Aggressors: Egypt and Syria (surprise attack on holy day)

Outcome: Israel was caught off guard but pushed enemies back across their own borders. Strategic victory.

🔹 1982 Lebanon War
Aggressor: PLO (attacks from Lebanon)

Outcome: Israel expelled the PLO from Lebanon and reshaped the region.

🔹 2006 Lebanon War
Aggressor: Hezbollah (cross-border raid, rocket attacks)

Outcome: Hezbollah badly damaged; southern Lebanon crippled. UN ceasefire imposed favorable terms to Israel.

🔹 Gaza Conflicts (2008, 2012, 2014, 2021, 2023)
Aggressor: Hamas (rocket attacks on Israeli civilians)

Outcome: Hamas suffers massive losses; Israeli Iron Dome proves near-impenetrable.


Israel has fought at least 7 major wars, often against coalitions of multiple Arab nations, and won every single time—defying all odds. That’s unmatched in modern history.

lies, Israel would have taken him out if they could, they don't care about anyone, by the way, killing Iran's supreme leader will not end this war, it will only exacerbate it with unprecedented devastation in Israel

What some accused Isreal of doing is what Iran is also doing- genocide.

Every country has right of defense.

Let them all come to table to end the war.

People think Iranians are Arabs. They are Persians. Even during the times of the Old Testament, Persia was dominating.

Israel has nuclear weapons, they should remember that
That’s why even Ukaraine is told to limit how they target Russia, don’t touch civilians. If you push them to the hilt they’ll react to the hilt

Without all the US support Israel will not last a full 24 hours with Iran.
Bear in mind Iran is operating under various sanctions even now.
Israel is US outpost in the middle east.
