Video | Passenger records from plane the shocking moment Iran launches a wave of missiles at Israel

Amid the escalating war in the Middle East, a video was released that was recorded by a passenger from the window of his plane, in which, he said, he was flying over Dubai at that time, and which shows the exact moment Iran launched ballistic missiles toward Israel.

In context, these attacks have caused a high number of casualties and damage, to the point that on Monday afternoon, the Israeli army called on residents of a neighborhood in northeast Tehran to evacuate , anticipating airstrikes against "military infrastructure belonging to the Iranian regime."

In the video recorded by the user, it can be seen that around six missiles were initially launched; however, they subsequently launched a large number of these projectiles.

The footage has garnered over 200,000 views and a variety of user reactions.

During a visit to Tel Nof Air Base in central Israel, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the armed forces for their role in the offensive against Iran and reaffirmed Israel's strategic objectives in the conflict.

In his remarks, Netanyahu asserted that the country is "on the path to victory," a goal he attributed to the performance of the pilots and ground personnel, whom he described as "heroic" and "exceptional."

"We are on track to achieve victory, and this has been achieved thanks to our heroic pilots and our wonderful ground crew, who are also doing an exceptional job," the president said, according to an official statement.

He added that the recognition doesn't only come from within the country. "I salute you, all the citizens of Israel salute you, and I want to tell you: many around the world salute you and admire you."

Netanyahu emphasized that Israel is moving toward its two main goals: eliminating both the nuclear and missile threats posed by Iran. "By controlling the skies above Tehran, we are achieving these goals, unlike the criminal regime in Iran that attacks our citizens and comes to kill children and women," he stated. He concluded his speech with a message of determination. "With God's help, we will triumph and continue until we achieve it."

The prime minister was accompanied by Defense Minister Israel Katz, who emphasized the government's confidence in the Air Force as a decisive factor in authorizing the strikes. "Now we see what you are leading in the skies above Tehran and we know we were right. All of Israel trusts you and says: thank you and keep going," Katz said.

Israel launched its offensive against Iran early Friday morning, justifying the operation by the advancement of Iran's nuclear program and the threat posed by its development of ballistic missiles, which the Israeli government considers a direct danger to its national security.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said Sunday that the United States sent "private" communications denying involvement in Israel's military attack on Iran, although Tehran did not believe these claims.

"We have received messages from the United States denying its involvement in the recent attack, but we don't believe them," Araqchi said in a meeting with foreign ambassadors, reported Iran Nuances.

"Private messages are not enough," the diplomat asserted, adding that if Washington is "sincere," it must condemn the Israeli attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities.

Although Iran and the United States do not have direct diplomatic relations, they often exchange messages through intermediaries such as Switzerland, which represents US interests in Tehran, or through regional countries such as Oman and Qatar.

Both countries are engaged in negotiations on Iran's nuclear program, which began on April 12. A new round of talks was scheduled for this Sunday in Oman, but Tehran decided not to attend in response to the Israeli attacks.

During the same meeting with ambassadors held today, Minister Araqchi stated that "if the (Israeli) aggression stops, we will stop as well" and defended Iran's attacks against Israel as acts of "pure self-defense."
