Tehran launched fresh missiles strikes against Tel Aviv and other Israeli cities as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed further strikes on Iran in a military operation that has targeted the nuclear and military facilities of his country’s arch enemy.

Shortly after midnight on June 14, Israel said its military had intercepted a new round of Iranian surface-to-surface missiles in Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Jerusalem on the second consecutive day of Iranian air strikes that followed a damaging Israeli air assault on sites linked to Tehran’s nuclear program.

      Iranians are generally Persian, not Arab. Arabs are a very small minority in Iran.

      The official Israeli reason for this is because of ‘iranian’ drones being sent towards Israeli territory (released from Iraq rather than Iran) so they have manufactured a casus belli, and Iran clearly didn’t expect this attack since they were actually cooperating more than the past before the attacks

      They might believe that but depending on how hard Iran fires back they might not want to mess up their relatively cushy lifestyles.
