The conflict between Iran and Israel intensified on Wednesday, with renewed missile strikes exchanged between the two nations, now entering the sixth day of heightened hostilities. The military actions persist despite U.S. President Donald Trump's call for Tehran's unconditional surrender.

Iran launched several missile barrages towards Israel, prompting Israeli airstrikes on Iranian military targets, including a university associated with the Revolutionary Guards and the Khojir ballistic missile site. The U.S., meanwhile, is considering its involvement, with increased military deployments and consultations with Israeli leaders.
