Israeli military conducts airstrikes targeting key locations in Tehran, escalating tensions with Iran.
The Israeli defense minister confirmed the strikes, emphasizing their focus on "regime targets and agencies of government repression." Following the strike, the situation was reported to be under control, although chaos ensued as first responders managed the aftermath. Concurrently, Iranian missile strikes on cities in Israel have heightened the urgency of mutual retaliation, leading to significant casualties on both sides.
Israel's recent military campaign, aimed at dismantling Iran's capabilities, has now entered a more aggressive phase, leading to substantial civilian casualties. According to Iran's health ministry, Israeli airstrikes have resulted in approximately 500 fatalities, though humanitarian organizations claim the number could be as high as 950. Meanwhile, Israeli officials report that Iranian strikes have killed 24 citizens within Israeli territory, adding further strain to regional stability.
As global leaders watch closely, the consequences of this conflict continue to unfold, with the potential for broader regional implications should hostilities escalate further.
