In a significant escalation of tensions in the Middle East, Israel has launched direct airstrikes on multiple military targets in Iran as a retaliatory measure following a missile barrage that targeted Israeli locations. The Israeli military announced that over 100 aircraft were involved in the operation, which included precise strikes on sites around Tehran. Explosions were reported in the Iranian capital, with state TV confirming the blasts. Defense systems in Tehran intercepted unidentified projectiles, indicating heightened military activity. As Israel intensifies its response, concerns grow over the potential expansion of the conflict in the region. The U.S. has stated it was not involved in the recent Israeli attacks. The situation remains fluid with ongoing updates of military actions and international reactions.
