Tensions Escalate: Iran-Israel Conflict Intensifies with Missile Strikes
The conflict between Israel and Iran has escalated, with Israel bombing nuclear targets and Iran retaliating with missile attacks. As hostilities worsen, Israeli and U.S. leaders weigh their options. International tensions rise with oil supply disruptions, and civilians on both sides face growing danger and displacement.

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran has intensified, as both nations launched aggressive attacks in a series of escalating military operations. On Thursday, Israeli warplanes bombed nuclear sites in Iran, responding to Iran's strike on an Israeli hospital in Beersheba. In retaliation, Iran fired missiles and drones at Israeli cities, targeting strategic military locations.
In a statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned Iran's actions and vowed to hold Tehran accountable. Defence Minister Israel Katz emphasized the need to intensify strikes aimed at destabilizing Iran's regime and reducing its nuclear capabilities. Israel's military campaign seeks more than just the destruction of Iranian infrastructure but aims to undermine the foundations of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's government.
The conflict has sparked international uncertainties, with U.S. President Donald Trump's response remaining uncertain amid various diplomatic overtures. The Strait of Hormuz, a critical channel for global oil supply, faces potential disruptions, leading to a surge in oil prices. Meanwhile, civilian casualties mount on both sides, with residents fleeing affected areas seeking safety.
