Iran’s military announced that it carried out a drone strike on Israel’s Ministry of Internal Security in Jerusalem. The attack was described as retaliation for the killing of senior Iranian officials, including Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib. The statement said the operation was conducted under the banner of avenging the ‘blood of the heroes’ from the warship IRIS Dena. The extent of damage or casualties from the strike has not yet been confirmed.

Earlier, on March 4, a U.S. torpedo attack on the Iranian warship IRIS Dena off southern Sri Lanka killed more than 80 naval personnel as the vessel was returning home from exercises in India. Since February 28, the United States and Israel have continued joint operations against Iran, resulting in over 1,300 deaths, including Iran’s then-supreme leader Ali Khamenei, according to the report.

In response, Iran has launched drone and missile attacks targeting U.S. military facilities in Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries, signaling a widening regional confrontation.
