Iran strikes Tel Aviv with cluster warheads in retaliation for killing of security chief
Iran launched multiple-warhead missiles with cluster warheads on central Israel, killing two and injuring several in retaliation for the killing of security chief Ali Larijani.
- On Tuesday, March 17, 2026, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched missiles carrying cluster warheads at Tel Aviv in retaliation for the killing of Iran's security chief Ali Larijani, hitting central Israel and nearby suburbs with two alerts triggered overnight.
- The killing of Ali Larijani, Iran's security chief, prompted vows of revenge after Israel confirmed it killed him in an airstrike on Tuesday.
- AP footage showed a missile releasing cluster submunitions, and Iran's Revolutionary Guard said it launched Khorramshahr-4 and Qadr multiple‑warhead missiles with cluster munitions.
- The overnight strikes killed two people near Tel Aviv, bringing Israel's war death toll to at least 14, while Magen David Adom emergency medical service, Home Front Command search and rescue teams, and Israel's police bomb disposal experts operated at multiple impact sites.
- The strikes come amid a wider wave of Iranian retaliation after US-Israeli operations, disrupting global airlines, raising oil prices around 45%, and Iran said a projectile near the Bushehr nuclear power plant caused no damage.
