Iran has shared a chilling image of a nuclear missile striking an Israeli city, which appears to be Tel Aviv. In a post on X, the account previously belonging to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned that "Khorramshahr is ahead", in reference to the ballistic missile named after the Iranian city.

Included in the post was also a striking image of the missile being developed underground, fired from a mobile launcher, and hitting what appears to be the Israeli capital. In another post, the account promised consequences, "by God's grace", for "the Zionist regime".

It said: "The Zionist regime has made a big mistake, and its consequences will make the regime desperate, by God's grace."

This comes after Tehran launched an overnight attack of cluster bombs targeting Tel Aviv, which were seen in shocking videos flying through the air before crashing into the ground.

Huge blazes erupt as they smash into their targets, with witnesses watching on and filming the explosions.

The cluster bombs open up as they zero in on their targets, sending around twenty smaller munitions flying out in a radius of roughly five miles. Each of the smaller missiles carries around 2.5kg of explosives, potentially causing huge damage.

Israel also inflicted the worst night of bombing on Tehran since the war began last weekend, launching a "broad-scale wave of strikes" aimed at wiping out the Islamic regime.

The intense bombardment on Friday morning saw explosions ringing out across the city, and plumes of smoke and fire lighting up the sky.

Residents said their homes shook and they were left without internet and power, plunging them into darkness. A man in his 30s told the BBC: "The house was shaking for five minutes straight. Last night was the worst night."

Another added: "I woke up to the sound of explosions at 5am and haven’t been able to sleep ever since. It was terrible. They were hitting so hard that all the windows were shaking. It sounded as if a dragon was making noises."

At least 1,332 people have been killed in Iran since strikes against it began on February 28.
