Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps said it launched dozens of drones and missiles at Israel on Saturday, in an attack that could lead to a major escalation between the regional archenemies.
Here is some reaction to the attack from official statements and postings on social media:
ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU
"In recent years, and especially in recent weeks, Israel has been preparing for a direct attack by Iran. Our defensive systems are deployed; we are ready for any scenario, both defensively and offensively. The State of Israel is strong. The IDF is strong. The public is strong.
"We appreciate the U.S. standing alongside Israel, as well as the support of Britain, France and many other countries. We have determined a clear principle: Whoever harms us, we will harm them. We will defend ourselves against any threat and will do so level-headedly and with determination."
Bahrain's General Command of the Defence Force announced that its air defence systems have successfully intercepted and destroyed 121 ballistic missiles and 193 drones since the onset of Iranian hostilities - a staggering toll that underscores the relentless scale of Tehran's retaliatory campaign against Gulf states.
The United States is offering a reward of up to $10 million for information about senior Iranian military and intelligence officials, including its new Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei.
As Hezbollah's war with Israel escalates and Lebanon descends deeper into crisis, one regional actor has made its position unmistakably clear: Syria under Ahmed al-Sharaa is not Bashar al-Assad's Syria, and Hezbollah should not mistake the two.
