- Global Alarm: The UN and world leaders, including U.S. President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, called for de-escalation, but diplomatic efforts remain uncertain.
On the Ground:
In Tel Aviv, explosions rocked the city as Iranian missiles struck residential and military targets. Emergency teams worked to rescue survivors from collapsed buildings, while air raid sirens sent civilians scrambling for shelter.
Iranian state media claimed successful strikes on Israeli airbases, including Nevatim and Tel Nof, while Israel reported intercepting many missiles. Tehran also warned of further attacks, vowing to retaliate against any nation that supports Israel.
Nuclear Standoff Continues:
Despite damage to nuclear facilities, Iran insists its uranium enrichment remains peaceful. Israel, however, claims Iran is nearing a “point of no return” in developing nuclear weapons. Planned U.S.-Iran talks hang in the balance, with Tehran accusing Washington of enabling Israeli aggression.
What’s Next?
With both sides refusing to back down, the conflict risks spiraling into a wider regional war. As global powers urge restraint, the world watches anxiously to see if diplomacy can prevail—or if the violence will escalate further.
