After days of intense bombardment by the Israeli Air Force, Iran finally revealed its trump card. According to reports from British Sky News Israel Times and other foreign media on June 21st, local time on Friday, Iran launched a new round of large-scale retaliatory missile attacks on Israel. This undoubtedly became a turning point in the Israel-Iran conflict, like a heavy bomb that triggered shocks on the international military stage.
According to the message of the Iranian Revolutionary Corps, this is the 17th long-range strike carried out by Iran in this round of conflict, and it is also the largest in scale. The Israeli side revealed Iran launched about 30 heavy ballistic missiles at Israel that day, at least 20 of which successfully broke through the atmosphere and accurately hit multiple cities in Israel. This clearly shows that this attack is not only massive in scale but also astonishing in power, and it is by no means a small-scale strike.
In this round of missile, air defense alarms were sounded across Israel, and the military command headquarters also urgently ordered the public to take refuge in air-raid shelters and bomb shelters. This is the time since the outbreak of the Israel-Iran conflict that Israel has activated air defense alarms nationwide, which is enough to show that Iran’s strike is constantly escalating and has an unprecedented threat to Israel’s security. In the past, Israel relied on its powerful air defense system to deal with attacks from neighboring countries, but this time, even Israel’ most solid defense line found it difficult to cope with it comprehensively, and the activation of air defense alarms is undoubtedly a warning of the severity of the situation.
The focus the missile attack: Economic and port cities become the hardest hit areas.

This time, Iran’s missile strike was extremely precise, almost covering all the important cities from north to south in Israel Especially in the northern Haifa and the central Tel Aviv, they became the focus of this attack. Tel Aviv, as the economic heart of Israel and the second largest city in the, gathers a large number of financial institutions, tech companies, and commercial centers, playing a pivotal role in the economy. And Haifa, as the third largest city in, is one of its most important ports and a key node for foreign trade and military strategic layout.
According to the video materials shot by the local people, at least one missile with a conventional high-explosive warhead accurately hit a building in the city center of Haifa. The thick smoke rising from the explosion obscured the entire sky, the flying dust was even higher than the surrounding buildings, which was shocking. This scene not only fully demonstrated the powerful lethality of Iran’s missiles but also made people truly the cruelty and ruthlessness of war.
According to incomplete statistics from the Israeli health department, the new round of missile attacks by Iran has caused at least dozens of people to injured, including at least 2 people who were seriously injured in the attack in Haifa and are in critical condition. Behind these numbers are broken families and countless painful lives. What brings is not only material loss but also the ruthless trampling of human life.
Both sides’ statements: Intense power confrontation and position conflict
Sina Tosi a senior researcher at the Center for International Policy in Washington, D.C., analyzed that although the number of missiles launched by Iran this time is not huge, both the power accuracy have been significantly improved. She pointed out that this means Israel’s air defense capability is gradually being consumed by Iran, and Iran’s missile attacks in the future will be precise and deadly. From the effect of this missile attack, it can indeed be seen that Israel’s air defense system is facing severe tests.
However, the Israeli side not make a positive response to this. Israeli Defense Forces Chief of Staff, Major General Ehud Zamir, stated in a speech on the same day that the majority of missiles by Iran recently have been successfully intercepted, and only less than 50% of the missiles have “penetrated” into Israeli territory. Zamir also emphasized Israel’s air defense power is still strong and ready to deal with any emergencies at any time. This speech is aimed at stabilizing the

Meanwhile, Zalmi cautioned that an Israeli air strike on Iran would only escalate the conflict, and stated that Israel is prepared for a “racted campaign” that could potentially eliminate the threat of “wiping out Israel” once and for all. This statement also implies that Israel might be gearing up for a prot conflict following Trump’s announcement to delay military action against Iran, adopting a strategy of sustained strikes in the hopes of ultimately securing a favorable outcome in war. Such an Israeli stance would further exacerbate the conflict and complicate the situation, making it more severe.

Power Comparison: Iran’s Trump Card and Israel’s Dilemma
Judging by Iran’s ability to launch 30 heavy missiles once, it is evident that Iran still has many strategic “trump cards” that have yet to be revealed. With its deep accumulation in missile technology, Iran boasts a wide variety missiles with extensive range coverage, possessing a strong strategic deterrent. The missile strength showcased this time is just the tip of the iceberg of its overall capabilities. If Iran continues enhance the intensity of its missile attacks, Israel will face tremendous pressure.

On the Israeli side, one of the biggest problems currently facing is the increasingly tense stockpile of anti-missile interceptors. Anti-missileors are the core components of Israel’s air defense system, and once its stockpile is in short supply, the air defense capability will be greatly reduced. Faced with Irans increasingly strong missile threat, Israel’s air defense system may gradually be worn down.
In addition, whether Israel can sustain a long-term war is also a problem needs to be addressed urgently. A long-term war not only requires strong military support but also a strong economic foundation and a stable domestic environment. Although Israel has certain advantages in and military, being involved in a long-term war will undoubtedly cause it great consumption. Moreover, the international community’s questioning and pressure on Israel’s military actions may affect its international image and diplomatic status.
