Tensions Soar as Israeli Strikes Target Iran's Nuclear Sites

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported that Israeli airstrikes have severely impacted Iran's Natanz nuclear enrichment facility, particularly its underground centrifuge halls. The strikes, part of a larger assault on Iran's nuclear and military assets, have resulted in widespread chaos and significant damage.

Israel's military campaign against Iran, aimed at preventing nuclear weapon development, has resulted in the death of at least 224 Iranians. In response, Iran launched a series of missile and drone attacks on Israeli targets, leading to 24 casualties in Israel as hostilities between the two nations intensify.

Global tensions are heightened as leaders like US President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron express differing approaches to conflict resolution. With evacuations in Tehran and potential diplomatic negotiations on the horizon, the international community watches closely, hoping for de-escalation.
