Quick breakdown of the claim:"Iran FIRES 1000 Sejjil-3 4-TON Missiles": False. Iran has used Sejjil (solid-fuel ballistic) missiles in waves during the 2026 Iran-Israel/US conflict (which escalated heavily in Feb-Mar 2026), including some first-reported operational uses in March. Reports mention dozens in specific salvos (e.g., one wave with several Sejjil alongside other missiles), not 1,000 of a specific "Sejjil-3" variant in one go. Iran's arsenal is large, but launching 1,000 heavy ballistic missiles at once isn't supported by any credible reporting.

"Tel Aviv Power Grid WIPED OUT — Israel DESPAIRING": Overstated. There have been Iranian missile strikes hitting areas in/around Tel Aviv, causing damage, injuries, blackouts/power outages in parts of the city or region (from direct hits, debris, or infrastructure impacts), and some chaos. However, Israel has not been "wiped out" or left in despair. Israeli defenses intercepted most, and the country continued operations amid ongoing fighting/ceasefire tensions.

This fits a pattern of hyperbolic YouTube/Facebook headlines during the conflict. There was a real war escalation in early 2026 (US/Israel strikes on Iran starting late Feb, Iranian retaliation with missiles/drones), with damage on both sides, but not this apocalyptic scenario.

On Lawrence Wilkerson:Retired Col. Lawrence Wilkerson (ex-Chief of Staff to Colin Powell) has been vocal in interviews about the conflict. He has criticized US/Israeli actions, noted Iran's remaining missile stocks (saying ~50% intact and capable of sustained strikes), warned of potential severe damage to Israel if Iran unleashes more advanced missiles, and pushed back on optimistic claims of degrading Iran's capabilities.

However, the exact headline phrasing ("1000 Sejjil-3... Tel Aviv Power Grid WIPED OUT") doesn't appear to be a direct quote from him—it's typical of sensational video titles using his name for clicks. He has discussed Iran's missile potential broadly, not this specific exaggerated event.

Bottom line: Iran has fired Sejjil missiles and caused some damage/power issues in Israel amid real fighting, but the "1,000 missiles, grid wiped out, total despair" version is hype. Check primary sources like Reuters, ISW (Institute for the Study of War), or official statements for balanced updates rather than viral videos. The broader 2026 conflict involved heavy exchanges but moved into ceasefire/negotiations by April-May.
