Never before seen video footage from the recent attack on Iran revealed that Israel used the Rampage air-to-surface guided missile in a massive strike on the heart of the Islamic Republic’s capital, Tehran, possibly causing civilian casualties.
Israel launched the attack on June 13, stating that its goal was to cripple Iran’s nuclear program. A ceasefire was suddenly announced on June 24, just two days after the United States joined the war by attacking three key nuclear sites.
The undated footage, which surfaced online on July 2, shows three munitions, including at least one that appears to be a Rampage missile, hitting Tehran. The missile in question struck a parking lot, while the other two munitions hit multi-story buildings. Many civilians can be seen walking in the targeted area.
The Rampage, officially unveiled by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and Elbit Systems , is an air-launched version of the guided artillery rocket EXTRA. The 306 mm missile, which weights around 150 kg, is typically armed with a multi-explosively formed penetrator warhead.
The missile features a GPS-aided inertial navigation system with anti-jamming capabilities. It is reported to have a circular error probable of ten meters.
With a top speed of Mach 1.6 and a range of up to 250 kilometers, the standoff missile was especially designed to hit high-value targets such as radar installations, communications centers, weapons storage facilities and airfields while the launch aircraft remains out of range of air defenses.
The strike seen in the fresh footage likely took place in the last days of the war, when Israel announced that it had struck so-called “regime targets” in Tehran.

According to the official Islamic Republic News Agency, the Israeli attack on Iran claimed the lives of 935 Iranians, including 38 children and 132 women.
Iran retaliated to the Israeli attack by launching over 500 ballistic missiles and around 1,100 suicides drones at targets in Israel. The retaliatory attacks killed 28 people, all but one of them civilians, and wounded over 3,000 in Israel, per Israeli health officials.

why on earth would iran let up on israel? they had more justification for war than the usa did after pearl harbor and they just quit. this is all theater. i can tell because its fake and gay.
the countries that are still sovereign suffer from a lack of will to defend themselves fully. they either believe in nonsense like time is on their side or they think they can dance with the devil.
hatzerim air base in israel was damage due multiplñe impact of iran ballistic missile during the past war
usa had to stick up for netanyahu, otherwise it would have been a much easier decision for iran to keep bombing israel.

και μετα.. δυστυχως.. ξυπνησες απο το γλυκο σου ονειρο.. δυστυχως !!!
“possibly causing civilian casualties” possibly??? that wasn’t a parking lot, those were cars with people inside who were stopped for a red light! you can see those who weren’t instantly killed driving away. that was quite clearly a massacre of civilians by the zionist terrorist genocidal entity!
strange anyway, those 2-3 missiles: what was their purpuse? to strike a car stream? what was for that attack? if they aimed for a military target they miss it by miles.
το αρθρο ειναι νπροπαγανδα !
i was hoping iran would finish the job of ending the pestilence of israel. make the world a better place
the israeli-iranian bromance!
it’s strange that these two regimes (regime means a ruling structure according to wikipedia) didn’t attack each other, but rather civilians. iranian missiles bombed israeli cities, and israeli missiles bombed iranian cities. for the regimes of this world, civilians are merely assets.
if you want to enforce regime change, you need the population to turn against the leadership. what better way to sway the public opinion? attack the regular civilians.
to be fair, a lot of the israeli civilian deaths were either from the blast waves of missiles hitting things like the idf buildings next to that hospital, or failed friendly interceptors falling back down.
lets not forget…
israel attacked irans sewage system.
iran refrained from hitting desal plants, no?
the terrifying explosive power of israeli bombs. unfortunately, they seem to be far ahead of powers like russia or iran.
sadly, i believe israel had complete control over iranian skies, so it seems trump saved iran by forcing israel to stop its devastating and unpunished bombings. i don’t know the reason.
if iran doesn’t learn this lesson and equip itself with a good air defense system, it will once again be in grave danger.
ακριβως.. αντιθετα τα περιγραφεις !!!
