‘Mosques, metro stations, schools to serve as shelters from Israeli attacks’

TEHRAN: Iran announced that mosques, metro stations and schools would serve as shelters from Sunday evening, as Israel’s attacks entered a third day.

“Mosques are among the shelters available to the public, and the metro stations will be prepared tonight to open for use,” government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani told state TV, adding that schools were also “safe places” for refuge.

Meanwhile, Iran has fired a new wave of ballistic missiles towards Israel, IRNA reported, as President Masoud Pezeshkian warned that his country responses to Israeli attacks will be “more decisive and severe” if Israel’s hostile actions continue.

As the Iranian missiles bypassed Israel’s multilayer defence system, explosions are being heard in Tel Aviv.

On the other hand, Reuters quoted Israeli media as saying that the government has extended the state of emergency until June 30.

It means Prime Minister Netanyahu knows that Iran won’t stop resisting the Israeli aggression and there is very little chance of forcing Iran to surrender despite the claims made by Israel about devastating the Islamic Resistance.
