00:21Explosions over Haifa are sending shockwaves across the region after Iran claims a direct
00:27retaliatory missile strike against Israel.
00:30According to statements from Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the attack was launched in response
00:35to recent strikes on Iranian infrastructure, and the message from Tehran was unmistakable—retaliation.
00:42Witnesses in Haifa described the sky lighting up as air defense systems activated across
00:47northern Israel, but several missiles reportedly broke through the defensive layers, slamming
00:52into targets near the city's industrial and port areas.
00:55Iranian officials say the weapons used included the Kaibar Shekhan, a long-range ballistic
01:01missile developed by Iran and designed to evade missile defenses.

01:11The flames illuminated the shoreline of the Mediterranean Sea, while emergency sirens echoed across the
01:17city.
01:18Families rushed into underground shelters, emergency crews raced toward burning industrial sites,
01:23and the thunder of impacts could be heard miles away.
01:26Iran's military command described the strike as an eye-for-an-eye response to attacks on
01:31its own energy facilities earlier in the escalation.
01:33Israeli authorities, meanwhile, say they are assessing the damage and preparing for the possibility
01:37of further retaliation.
01:38What makes this moment especially dangerous is the cycle of escalation now gripping the region,
01:44each strike answered by another, each retaliation raising the stakes.
