Iranian state-aligned and IRGC-affiliated channels report that incoming missile barrages have triggered warning sirens across Israel, including at Ben Gurion Airport.
Iranian state media and military-affiliated channels are reporting an incoming missile attack targeting Israel, framing the event as a direct escalation following days of severe regional warfare.
According to Akharin Khabar, a prominently state-aligned Iranian news aggregator, and the IRGC News Channel, a Telegram outlet affiliated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, incoming projectiles have activated widespread warning systems. Utilizing identical phrasing, both outlets announced that the roar of missiles caused sirens to sound in the occupied territories. The IRGC News Channel pushed this exact narrative, utilizing the state's standard terminology for Israel.
Highlighting specific targets, Akharin Khabar also reported that sirens have been activated at Ben Gurion Airport.
These missile reports emerge in the immediate aftermath of unprecedented hostilities earlier this week. Between March 9 and 13, the United States and Israel conducted a massive campaign of airstrikes that devastated Iranian military, naval, and IRGC infrastructure, prompting US President Donald Trump to declare the destruction of Iran's air and naval forces. In the wake of those strikes and the concurrent appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran's third Supreme Leader, senior IRGC officials had vowed severe retaliation, specifically threatening to ignite Middle Eastern energy infrastructure.
The source channels utilized exact duplicate phrasing ('غرش موشکها، صدای آژیرها را در اراضی اشغالی به صدا درآورد') indicating a coordinated media narrative or shared press copy being distributed across state and IRGC networks. As instructed, the biased term 'occupied territories' was retained without quotation marks to faithfully reflect the original framing.
