Iran Launches Rain of Ballistic Missiles at Israel: Raw Footage Shows Retaliatory Strikes
Iran Missile Attack on Israel: Shocking Raw Footage Released by IRNA and IDF Amid Escalating Conflict
June 14, 2025 — Jerusalem/Tehran In a significant escalation of tensions between Iran and Israel, Iran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles targeting key locations inside Israel in retaliation for Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear and military facilities. The Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released dramatic video footage showing the severity of the exchange — a chilling reminder of the growing volatility in the Middle East.

The raw visuals show missiles streaking across the night sky, with defensive interceptors firing back, followed by thunderous explosions and blinding flashes. This marks one of the most intense direct military confrontations between the two nations in recent years.
A Retaliatory Strike Fueled by Friday’s Bombing
Iran’s missile retaliation comes after Israel launched a surprise strike on Iranian military and nuclear assets early Friday morning. That operation, widely condemned by Iranian leadership, reportedly damaged sensitive sites and resulted in several casualties.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a stark warning:
“The Zionist regime will not remain unscathed from the consequences of its crime. The Iranian nation must be guaranteed that our response will not be half-measured.”
Just hours later, Iran launched dozens of ballistic missiles at Israeli territory — a move that has sent shockwaves across the international diplomatic and defense communities.
Footage from Both Sides Amplifies Tensions
IRNA posted the attack video on X (formerly Twitter), claiming:
“Footage shows an Iranian missile taking out an Israeli air defense system.”
The video, quickly circulated online, showed missiles launching from undisclosed Iranian locations and striking targets in Israel. Meanwhile, Israel’s military posted a different angle of the same engagement on its official X profile:
“RAW FOOTAGE: Iran launched multiple ballistic missiles toward Israel in the past hours. The IDF cannot, and will not, allow Iran to attack our civilians.”
Life Under Fire: Israeli Civilians in Shelters
As the missile sirens blared across cities in Israel, millions of citizens were forced to run for cover, seeking refuge in public and private bomb shelters. While most Israelis rely on communal shelters, some residents — particularly in high-risk areas — have private fortified safe rooms in their homes.
An IDF statement said:
“We would rather not be tweeting the same thing many times in a day, but millions of Israelis keep running to shelter as Iran keeps shooting more ballistic missiles at Israel.”
International Response and Regional Fallout
World leaders have begun reacting to the crisis, urging restraint and diplomacy. The United Nations Security Council is expected to hold an emergency session, while countries like the United States, France, and India have issued calls for de-escalation and condemned any attacks on civilian populations.
Defense analysts warn that this could be the beginning of a larger regional conflict if proxy forces in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza get involved.
