Escalating Tensions: Israel and Iran Trade Blows Amid Nuclear Dispute
Israel and Iran have exchanged strikes after a heated weekend of military confrontations, amidst stalled negotiations on Iran's nuclear program. As both countries accuse each other of aggression, international efforts to broker peace make little headway, while escalating violence draws global concern and uncertain diplomatic prospects.
In a dramatic escalation, Israel and Iran exchanged military strikes over the weekend as the longstanding tension over Iran's nuclear program reignited. Following Iran's refusal to negotiate under threat, Israeli forces targeted Isfahan's nuclear facility and a Qom building, resulting in casualties.
The Iranian counterattack involved five ballistic missiles, with no immediate reports of serious impact in Israel, though debris left Central Israel alarmed. As diplomatic efforts flounder, President Trump expressed concerns over Iran's nuclear progress and suggested the U.S. may intervene.
Both countries continue trading accusations, and diplomatic negotiations in Geneva yielded little progress. The situation remains volatile with calls for de-escalation from global powers, amidst a backdrop of persistent strikes and entrenched hostilities.
