What Happened?
-
Iran launched dozens of missiles targeting major Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Bat Yam, reportedly killing at least 7 people.
-
The attack comes in retaliation for Israeli airstrikes on Iran, including a major fire at Tehran’s Shahran oil facility.
-
Israel claims its strikes were aimed at nuclear weapons-related infrastructure inside Iran.
Israel’s Air Defense in Action
-
Israel’s Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow systems intercepted many missiles, but some broke through causing casualties and damage.
-
Despite strong defense, multiple cities reported direct hits, especially in central Israel.
Objection from Iran
-
Iran threatens to block the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil trade route — a move that could shake the global economy.
-
Iran warns Western military bases in the Middle East (including those of the US and UK) may also become targets if support for Israel continues.
US Reaction
-
President Donald Trump, speaking at a military parade, sent a strong message warning enemies of “certain defeat” if US interests are attacked.
-
However, the conflict is dividing Trump's conservative base, many of whom oppose further US involvement in Middle East wars.
Photos and Videos
-
Powerful images from Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and the West Bank show missiles in the sky and interception blasts.
Global Concern
-
Experts warn the situation could spiral into a regional war, affecting countries like Syria, Iraq, UAE, Qatar, and Cyprus — many of which host US or UK military bases.
