Iranian Channels Highlight Israeli Reports of Cluster Missile Strikes on Eilat

In the wake of unprecedented US and Israeli airstrikes on Iranian military infrastructure between March 9 and 13, Iranian media channels are heavily emphasizing retaliatory strikes against Israel. These strikes follow the recent appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran's Supreme Leader and declarations by US President Donald Trump regarding the destruction of Iran's air and naval forces.

Multiple Iranian news aggregators, specifically citing the Israeli media outlet Haaretz, reported that a recent Iranian missile attack on Eilat utilized specialized munitions. According to the breaking news channel خبرفوری ࡆ اخبارفوری مذاکره ࡆ جنگ فوری, the missile "had a cluster warhead and damaged several buildings" in the southern Israeli city. This exact framing was echoed by the war-focused channel اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری. These channels, which focus on rapid military developments and generally reflect a pro-regime posture, frequently feature Israeli source material to validate the impact and effectiveness of Iranian retaliation.

Reports of physical damage have also extended beyond Eilat to the Israeli capital region. According to اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری, Israeli media confirmed that "two buildings in Eilat and two other buildings in the Jerusalem area" sustained damage resulting from the recent IRGC attack.

حامیان پزشکیان, a channel aligned with supporters of Iran's reformist President Masoud Pezeshkian, corroborated these specific damage figures. The channel reiterated the claim that the recent Iranian attack successfully impacted two buildings in Eilat and two in the Jerusalem area, indicating a unified domestic messaging strategy across different political factions within Iran regarding the ongoing conflict.
