Israel’s Defense Minister Threatens Iran Amid Missile Attacks

Tel Aviv, June 14, 2025 – Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a stark warning to Iran on Saturday. He said Tehran would face severe consequences if it continues launching missile attacks. “If Khamenei keeps firing missiles, Tehran will burn,” Katz stated after a military assessment.

The threat follows Iran’s retaliatory missile strikes on Israel. Iran fired over 150 ballistic missiles on Friday night. The attacks targeted Tel Aviv and other cities. At least four people died, and dozens were injured. Israel’s Iron Dome intercepted most missiles, but some hit residential areas.

Israel launched airstrikes on Iran earlier on Friday. The strikes targeted nuclear facilities and military sites. Top Iranian commanders and scientists were killed. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei vowed a strong response.

Tensions have escalated rapidly. Both nations exchanged missile and airstrike barrages on Saturday. Explosions rocked Tel Aviv and Tehran. The conflict risks dragging in global powers. The U.S. helped intercept Iranian missiles.

International leaders urged de-escalation. The U.N. Security Council called an emergency meeting. Iran’s Foreign Minister labeled Israel’s actions “state terrorism.” Israel insists its strikes aim to stop Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

The situation remains volatile. Civilians in both countries face growing danger. Further attacks could deepen the crisis.
