BREAKING NEWS: Israel Destroys Iran’s Tabriz Airbase, Air Defenses in Major Strikes

Israeli Military Targets Iran’s Defenses

June 14, 2025 - The Israeli military announced it has destroyed dozens of Iran’s air defense systems and the Tabriz airbase in a series of devastating strikes today, escalating the Israel-Iran conflict to new heights. The attacks, part of Israel’s ongoing operation, aimed to neutralize Iran’s ability to defend its airspace, with the military stating it has a duty to “protect its citizens and will continue to do so wherever required.”

The strikes follow reports of sirens blaring across Israel’s Eilat and Negev regions overnight, triggered by a hostile aircraft and drone intrusion, according to Israeli military posts on social media. Iran’s earlier missile attacks on June 13 injured at least 40 Israelis, with shrapnel damaging buildings in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, as reported by Israeli media citing emergency services.

Iran Vows Retaliation Amid Rising Tensions

Iran’s UN Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani condemned Israel’s attacks as “barbaric and criminal” at a UN Security Council session, alleging U.S. support and citing deaths of military officials and civilians. He vowed a “firm, lawful” response to restore deterrence, invoking Iran’s right to self-defense. Iran’s Supreme Leader called the strikes a “heinous crime,” promising a severe retaliation, while Iranian media claimed air defenses downed two Israeli jets, a claim Israel denied.

Israel’s UN envoy, Danny Danon, defended the strikes as a response to Iran’s threats to destroy Israel, calling them a “defining moment for global security.” Israel’s operation on June 13 involved 200 fighter jets targeting over 100 Iranian sites, including a uranium enrichment facility, killing key commanders and scientists, according to Israeli officials.

Global Markets and Fears of Wider War

World leaders urged restraint to prevent a regional conflict. NATO and Australian officials called for de-escalation, while the U.S., not informed of Israel’s plans, evacuated some embassy staff. Nuclear talks with Iran, planned for Oman, were suspended. Global markets saw oil prices surge over 4% and the Dow drop 868 points on Friday, reflecting fears of instability.

Social media reports described panic buying in Israel, with supermarkets overwhelmed during a state of emergency. Iran-aligned groups claimed additional attacks, raising concerns of a broader war. The UN Security Council is set to continue emergency discussions as the Israel-Iran conflict intensifies.
