Strikes and Counterstrikes: Escalating Tensions Between Israel and Iran
Israel conducted military strikes on sites in Iran in response to previous missile attacks, escalating tensions between the rivals. Amid fears of regional warfare, the U.S. urged caution. No damage was reported in Tehran. Flights in Iran and Iraq were canceled as a precaution.
Israel launched targeted military strikes in Iran on Saturday morning, escalating the conflict between the two nations. The attacks were a response to a missile barrage from Tehran earlier this month, which heightened regional tensions.
Iranian media reported explosions in Tehran and surrounding military bases but no immediate casualties or damages. Israel's military declared their operation complete, having hit the identified targets.
The escalating situation raised fears of a broader Middle East conflict involving Iran, the U.S., and Israel's regional adversaries. Both nations continued their rhetoric, with Iran warning of retaliation for any Israeli aggression.
