TEHRAN/TEL AVIV(The COW News Digital) Iran launched a major retaliatory strike against Israel on March 6, deploying dozens of drones and missiles, according to reports from Russian media. The attacks included the use of Kheibar Shekan missiles equipped with cluster munitions, fired by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Eyewitness accounts indicate that during the assault, cameras monitoring Tel Aviv’s airspace were deliberately angled toward the ground, preventing the public from observing incoming Iranian missiles. Remarkably, no air-raid sirens were sounded in the city at the time of the strikes.
The escalation comes as the conflict enters its sixth day, with tensions between Israel and Iran intensifying rapidly. Iranian officials stated that these strikes were in direct response to recent Israeli and U.S. operations in the region, signaling Tehran’s commitment to retaliatory measures.
Meanwhile, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) provided an update on the ongoing military campaign in Iran. Admiral Brad Cooper briefed the media, stating that U.S.-led forces have targeted approximately 200 locations within Iran over the past 72 hours. The operations are being conducted according to strategic objectives set by U.S. military leadership, aiming to degrade Iran’s missile and drone capabilities.
Analysts note that the attacks demonstrate both Iran’s growing precision strike capabilities and the heightened volatility of the Middle East. The use of cluster-equipped Kheibar Shekan missiles reflects Tehran’s intent to project power and respond decisively to perceived threats.
The rapidly evolving situation has prompted concerns over civilian safety and regional stability. Security experts warn that continued exchanges of missile and drone strikes could trigger broader escalation, potentially drawing neighboring countries into the conflict.
Iran’s retaliatory measures also underscore the ongoing challenges for U.S. and allied forces operating in the region. With both sides employing advanced military technologies, the risk of miscalculations and unintended consequences remains high.
As the conflict unfolds, international observers are calling for diplomatic engagement to prevent further escalation. Meanwhile, the strategic and operational developments highlight the intensity and scale of the ongoing confrontation between Israel and Iran.
