Iran launched a new wave of attacks Thursday at Israel, American bases and countries around the region, threatening that the United States would “bitterly regret” torpedoing an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean and calling for “Trump’s blood,” while Israel said it hit multiple targets in Iran.

Israel announced multiple incoming missile attacks and air sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Iranian state television said additional strikes also targeted U.S. bases.

The Israeli military said it had hit 80 targets in Lebanon linked to the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group over the past 24 hours and that a wave of strikes on Iran had hit long range ballistic missile launch sites and other targets.

    Iran has been divided into two BMOAs (ballistic-missiles operation areas) with Israel responsible for bombing Tehran and West/Central Iran, while the US deals with the coast and south eastern Iran.

    Tehran is squarely in Israel’s target zone via Syrian airspace.

    Also the lack of Iranian air defences mean almost all the weapons used are precision bombs via planes, but the US is testing out their own knock-off drones.
