Escalation in Israel-Iran Conflict as Missiles Fly
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran has escalated sharply, marked by multiple missile strikes from both sides. Iran launched overnight missile barrages at Israel and asserted its determination to respond to any aggression, claiming control of the skies as it hits back. Israeli forces have conducted significant airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear facilities and military positions in Tehran, with reports of civilian evacuations from the Iranian capital. The situation has drawn the attention of former President Trump, who is contemplating a potential U.S. involvement in the strikes. Israeli leaders have articulated aims that extend beyond mere defense, suggesting a desire for regime change in Iran. As attacks continue, experts warn of the potential for the conflict to spiral out of control, implicating more regional players and complicating international diplomacy.
