If you're a low- or modest-income Canadian, there's a very good chance the government is about to deposit money directly into your bank account — on June 5, 2026 — with zero application required.

Israel Strikes Iran with Supersonic ‘Rampage’ Missile

 

In a recent military operation, Israel reportedly used a powerful supersonic missile called “The Rampage” to strike Iran. The attack targeted a military base near the Iranian city of Isfahan. Here are the key details:

  1. The Rampage Missile:

    • The missile used in the alleged Israeli attack is a locally-developed air-to-surface weapon known as “The Rampage.”
    • Manufactured by Israeli Military Industries Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries, this 4.7-meter (15-foot) rocket weighs over half a ton.
    • Designed to penetrate and destroy protected areas, such as bunkers, The Rampage poses a significant threat to ground targets.
  2. Supersonic Speed:

    • The Rampage missile can travel at supersonic speed, making it difficult to detect and intercept using air defense systems like the Iron Dome.
    • Its high velocity enhances its effectiveness in striking military bases and other strategic locations.
  3. Escaping Radar Detection:

    • The missile’s advanced technology allows it to evade Iran’s radar systems, as demonstrated in the recent attack near the Natanz nuclear site.
    • Israeli officials have suggested that this move was “calibrated to make Iran think twice” before launching another direct attack on Israel.

While Israel has not officially commented on the strike, the use of The Rampage missile underscores the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. As the situation continues to evolve, the international community closely monitors developments in the region.
