Tensions in the Middle East have escalated following a missile attack on Israel’s Haifa, with reports suggesting a potential “joint missile attack” from Iran and Yemen targeting Israeli-occupied territories. According to Iran’s Mehr News Agency, citing Israeli media, the threat emerged in the early hours of Monday, June 16, 2025.
The Times of Israel reported late Sunday (Bangladesh time) that the Israel Defense Forces’ Home Front Command has instructed all citizens to stay near bomb shelters or safe zones due to fears of a fresh Iranian attack. While the alert does not confirm that missiles have already been launched, it indicates that Iran could initiate an attack at short notice.
An unverified source has claimed that Yemen’s Houthi rebels may coordinate with Iran to launch ballistic missiles, though no official confirmation has been provided. The reported missile strike in Haifa has already triggered emergency measures in the city.
The ongoing tit-for-tat attacks between Iran and Israel have heightened global concerns, with reports of rising oil prices and instability in stock markets.
