Israel, Iran Launch New Strikes Amid Tensions With Ayatollah Regime

The conflict between Israel and Iran has entered its seventh day, intensifying with fresh missile exchanges and growing international concern. It began last Friday when the Israeli military launched "Operation Rising Lion" targeting Iranian cities. Here are the top developments so far:

Missile Sirens Across Israel:

Late Wednesday, the Israeli military confirmed that air raid sirens were triggered nationwide following a missile launch from Iran. Israeli forces also intercepted a drone reportedly launched from Iranian territory.

Fresh Strikes on Tehran:

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) launched a new wave of attacks on Tehran, warning residents in Arak and Khondab to evacuate before targeting what it described as "military infrastructure."

Origins of the Conflict:

The escalation began when Israel initiated Operation Rising Lion, claiming that Iran was nearing nuclear weapons capability. In the week since, more than 250 people have been killed — with over 220 casualties reported in Iran.

Netanyahu’s Message:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the nation, saying the military campaign aims to eliminate two "existential threats" — Iran’s nuclear ambitions and its ballistic missile arsenal. “We are advancing step by step to remove these threats,” he said in a video statement.

Potential Strike on Tehran Looms:

Senior U.S. officials are reportedly preparing for the possibility of an Israeli strike on Tehran in the coming days, adding to fears of a broader regional war.
