Hindustan Times West Asia Tensions Live: Israel Calls Iran Front ‘Most Dangerous’ As Missile Threat Looms

Israel is now publicly describing the “Iran front” as its most dangerous strategic battlefield, warning that large Iranian ballistic missile salvos could inflict destruction comparable to a “small nuclear weapon.” Israeli officials stress the comparison refers to scale of damage, not nuclear payloads, while acknowledging that recent operations failed to eliminate Iran’s missile stockpiles or production capacity.

Iran, meanwhile, is accelerating one of its largest defence spending increases in years, channelling funds into missiles, drones, intelligence and internal security. Tehran frames the surge as deterrence and regional power projection under sanctions rather than preparation for open war, but the buildup significantly raises escalation risks as Israel seeks to draw Washington back into a more direct confrontation with Iran.
