Iran’s missile carries a message for India — And it’s breaking the internet!

Iran’s latest missile offensive against Israel has drawn attention not only for its scale but also for the unusual messages it carried.

During the 83rd wave of missile strikes, launched in response to the February 28 attacks, one of the missiles reportedly bore a message directed at India that read: “Thank you to people of India.”

Similar messages were also seen for Germany and Pakistan.

An image of the missile carrying the message for India was shared on the official X handle of Iran’s Mumbai Consulate. In its post, the Consulate expressed gratitude, stating: “Gratitude from Iran’s Aerospace Force to the people of #Spain, #Pakistan, #India, and #Germany for their support and solidarity; especially during the 83rd wave of missile response to the U.S. and #Israel.”

Meanwhile, tensions continue to escalate on the ground. Israel has claimed that Alireza Tangsiri, the naval commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was killed in a strike near Bandar Abbas. According to Israeli media reports citing an official source, the operation was allegedly carried out jointly with the United States.

However, there has been no immediate confirmation from either Iran or the Israeli military. If verified, the incident would mark another significant development in the ongoing conflict, now entering its fourth week.

Tangsiri, who had led the IRGC Navy since 2018, was considered a key figure in Iran’s maritime strategy, particularly in operations around the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.
