Escalating Tensions: Iran-Israel Conflict Shakes Global Leaders
Iran launched missile strikes on Israeli cities Tel Aviv and Haifa, resulting in eight deaths and significant damage. In retaliation, Israel attacked Iran, causing over 224 deaths. The crisis overshadowed the G7 summit in Canada, with world leaders and President Trump seeking a resolution amidst fears of further escalation.
Before dawn on Monday, Iranian missiles hit the Israeli cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa, killing at least eight people and demolishing homes. In response, Israel's defense minister warned Tehran residents of impending consequences, escalating tensions between the nations.
The conflict cast a shadow over the Group of Seven summit in Canada. U.S. President Trump expressed hope for a diplomatic resolution, despite no signs of abating hostilities. Since the fighting commenced, Israeli attacks have killed over 224 people in Iran, while Israel's death toll has reached 23.
Iran's missile barrage aimed to disrupt Israel's defense systems, while Israel targeted Iran's nuclear and military capabilities. In Washington, U.S. officials revealed Trump's veto of an Israeli plan to kill Iran's Supreme Leader. The situation remains precarious as leaders strive for diplomatic solutions.
