Iran Launches Missiles at Israel as Tehran Crowds Celebrate

Iranian state TV broadcast celebrations in Tehran as ballistic missiles flew overhead toward Israel, with Iran citing the attack as retaliation for Israeli strikes in Beirut and alleged ceasefire violations. This marks a direct nation-state missile assault on Israel, a escalation that mirrors the biblical pattern of surrounding nations rising against Israel in the last days. Scripture repeatedly foretells a time when Israel's neighbours will seek her destruction, with Psalm 83:4 warning of those who say 'Come, let us destroy them as a nation' and Zechariah 12:2-3 describing Jerusalem as a cup of trembling for all surrounding peoples.
