Iranian Officials Threaten Missile Fire at Israel If Fighting in Lebanon Continues

Iranian officials warned the Lebanese outlet Unews that Iran could launch missiles at Israel overnight if the aggression against Lebanon continues. The threat was presented as a possible immediate response tied directly to developments in Lebanon, but no further details were given about the type, number, or timing of any launch beyond the claim that it could happen "tonight."

The statement did not identify the officials involved, and it offered no additional context on whether the warning reflected a formal government position or another Iranian message. The article likewise did not say what specific events in Lebanon would trigger the response, only that the threat was linked to continuing hostilities there.

The report frames the warning as part of the escalating regional tensions surrounding Lebanon and Israel. According to the Iranian message relayed to Unews, any missile strike would depend on whether the current assault on Lebanon persists.
