Iran Strikes Israel, Beit Yam Hit Hard
Iran’s Missile Barrage Slams Beit Yam, Tel Aviv
On June 15, 2025, Iran intensifies its assault on Israel, launching a barrage of ballistic missiles targeting Tel Aviv and Beit Yam. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) report multiple interceptions as sirens blare across central Israel. Beit Yam suffers heavy damage from a direct missile strike, with buildings and cars destroyed. Iran confirms its Shahran oil depot was hit by Israeli strikes, fueling the escalating conflict. The Pentagon holds an emergency meeting to address Israel’s request for intervention, raising fears of a broader war.
Devastation in Beit Yam and Tel Aviv
Iran’s Operation Severe Punishment unleashes over 100 ballistic missiles, with one striking Beit Yam, south of Tel Aviv, causing significant destruction. Social media videos show burning buildings and shattered infrastructure in Beit Yam’s residential areas. In Tel Aviv, the IDF’s Iron Dome intercepts most missiles, but loud explosions echo as debris rains down. Magen David Adom reports 34 injuries in the Tel Aviv area, with no fatalities confirmed in Beit Yam yet. Iran’s state media claims the strikes target IDF bases, including the Kirya military headquarters.
Iran’s Shahran Oil Depot Hit
Iran’s Tasnim News reports Israeli strikes target the Shahran oil depot in western Tehran, igniting a massive fire. A smaller fuel facility in southern Tehran also sustains damage. Iranian officials claim the situation is “under control,” but the attack disrupts oil supplies, spiking Brent Crude prices by 10.3% to $76.45. The strikes follow Israel’s Operation Rising Lion, which hit nuclear sites and killed 78, including IRGC commander Hossein Salami. Iran vows a “crushing response.”
Pentagon’s Emergency Meeting
The Pentagon convenes an urgent meeting as Israel requests U.S. military support against Iran. U.S. Navy destroyers, including USS Bulkeley, already assist in intercepting Iranian missiles, but President Trump insists the U.S. was not involved in Israel’s initial strikes. Secretary of State Marco Rubio warns Iran against targeting U.S. interests. Posts on X reflect U.S. public division, with some urging intervention and others opposing escalation. The meeting weighs risks to 40,000 U.S. troops in the region.
Escalating Tensions and Global Impact
The missile exchange follows Israel’s June 13 strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, killing top military and nuclear officials. Iran’s retaliation, including drone and missile waves, targets Haifa and Tel Aviv, with four Israeli deaths reported since Friday. Jordan closes its airspace, and the UN Security Council calls for restraint. X posts show global alarm, with @selinawangtv
noting the oil depot fire’s scale. The conflict threatens the Strait of Hormuz, risking global oil supply chaos.
Staying Safe and Informed
Israelis are urged to stay near bomb shelters and follow IDF Home Front Command alerts. Monitor updates via @idfonline
or Israel’s emergency services for real-time guidance. In the U.S., track Pentagon statements or Reuters for developments. Avoid spreading unverified X posts, as misinformation spreads rapidly. Report suspicious activity to local authorities. As the crisis deepens, staying informed through official channels is critical to navigating this volatile situation.
