Tel Aviv Fire Amid Fresh Israel-Iran Missile Exchange
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran escalated sharply last Friday when the Israeli military initiated “Operation Rising Lion,” a series of precision strikes targeting key Iranian nuclear and military facilities. The operation reportedly aimed to cripple Iran’s nuclear capabilities and neutralize top military officials and nuclear scientists who were considered vital to Iran’s strategic programs. According to sources, Israeli jets and drones launched a coordinated assault on multiple sites in Tehran, Natanz, and Esfahan, dealing significant damage to infrastructure and personnel.
Iranian state media confirmed casualties among senior military leaders and the destruction of sensitive equipment. In response, Iran vowed severe retaliation, launching a series of missile attacks on Israeli military bases and infrastructure in the Golan Heights and southern regions. These tit-for-tat exchanges have drawn international concern, with world powers urging both nations to de-escalate the rapidly intensifying conflict.
Meanwhile, civilian areas are being caught in the crossfire, especially after Iran’s use of cluster munitions. Tensions in the region remain extremely high, with both sides preparing for potential wider confrontation. Diplomatic efforts are underway, but prospects for peace appear slim.
Israel and Iran exchanged fresh strikes on Saturday, intensifying a rapidly escalating conflict. The renewed hostilities came just hours after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met with European foreign ministers. During the talks, Araghchi firmly stated that Tehran would not enter negotiations over its nuclear programme while facing military threats. Israeli airstrikes targeted Iranian military assets in Syria, while Iran retaliated with missile attacks on Israeli positions in the Golan Heights. The exchanges raised regional tensions further, prompting calls for restraint from global powers. Despite diplomatic efforts, both nations remain entrenched in their positions, with no sign of immediate de-escalation.
