Israel Strikes Iran Military Sites, Killing Two Soldiers
Iran reported that Israel launched an attack on military sites in the country, resulting in the deaths of two soldiers. The Israeli military retaliated by targeting Iran’s missile manufacturing facilities and installations across various regions.
A semi-official Iranian news agency promised a “proportional reaction” to Israel’s offensive. The Middle East has been tense following Iran’s missile barrage against Israel on October 1, prompting fears of a broader conflict in the region.
While Iran vowed to defend itself against any aggression, US President Joe Biden cautioned against further escalation. Pakistan condemned Israel’s actions, placing responsibility for the escalation on Israel and urging UN intervention for regional peace.
Saudi Arabia and the UAE also denounced the attacks, emphasizing the need for restraint and dialogue to prevent further destabilization. The international community, including the UK, called for de-escalation and respect for sovereignty.
In the midst of rising tensions between Israel and Iran, the world watches cautiously, hoping for a peaceful resolution to avoid a full-scale Middle East war.
