In a significant escalation of conflict, Iran has launched a barrage of at least 180 missiles targeting Israeli military sites, overwhelming defenses at several locations, according to analysts. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are reportedly preparing a 'serious and significant' retaliatory response. President Biden has signaled his opposition to any possible military strikes by Israel against Iranian oil facilities, urging restraint amid fears of global economic repercussions. Former President Trump has criticized Biden's approach, suggesting that Israel should conduct preemptive strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. The situation remains volatile, with U.S. naval assets actively defending against Iranian missile threats and satellite images indicating that Iranian oil tankers are repositioning amid fears of retaliatory Israeli attacks. As both nations brace for further military actions, the international community watches closely, concerned about the potential for a wider regional conflict.
