Iran on Sunday launched a retaliatory attack against "Israel" following the recent aggression on the Iranian consulate in Damascus.

According to reports, the attack involved 185 drones, 36 cruise missiles, and 110 surface-to-surface missiles launched from Iran.

Analysts identified specific Iranian-developed weaponry, such as the Paveh 351 cruise missile, which possesses a range exceeding 1,200 miles, allowing it to reach "Israel" from Iranian territory.

Footage circulated on social media showing several Iranian ballistic missiles impact their targets at supersonic speeds.
