A senior commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said on 13 June that the force will "soon" fire Kheibar ballistic missiles, warning that the scale of the launch would "shock" the world. The remarks were carried by several state-linked and regional media outlets, including the Tehran Times.

Additional IRGC officials quoted by local outlets suggested the salvo could involve more than 1,000 projectiles and potentially reach about 2,000 missiles—roughly twenty times the size of the last reported barrage. The Kheibar, one of Iran’s longest-range ballistic weapons, is designed to strike targets well beyond the country’s borders, with Israel explicitly mentioned as a prospective target.

The statements have not been independently verified, and Israeli authorities have yet to respond. Nevertheless, the rhetoric further heightens tensions between Tehran and Jerusalem after a series of earlier exchanges, underscoring the risk that a large-scale missile launch could trigger wider regional conflict.
