Israel Strikes Military Sites in Iran in Retaliation
Israel has launched strikes on military sites in Iran, citing retaliation for Tehran’s missile attack earlier this month. The conflict between these two heavily-armed rivals has been escalating, with both sides exchanging threats and attacks.
Following the strikes, Iran vowed a “proportional reaction” to Israel’s actions. Multiple explosions were reported in the capital and nearby military bases in Iran, with both countries on high alert for further escalations.
Tensions have been rising since Iran’s ballistic missile barrage on Israel on October 1st and subsequent attacks by Hamas, a Palestinian militant group backed by Iran. Fears of regional war have led to increased international concern, with the US closely monitoring the situation.
While Israel has warned Iran against further escalation, the US has reiterated its support for Israel’s defense. The international community is calling for de-escalation and an end to conflicts in the region to prevent further bloodshed.
As the situation continues to unfold, all eyes are on the Middle East as the world watches to see how the conflict between Israel and Iran will be resolved.
