The long-standing hostility between Israel and Iran has now escalated to a perilous level. Recently, an Israeli strike targeted top Iranian generals and key nuclear facilities, provoking a massive retaliation from Iran. In response, Iran launched hundreds of drones and missiles, creating widespread fear and uncertainty throughout the Middle East.
On Saturday, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei addressed the nation, declaring:
“Israel should not think this is over just because they attacked once. They started this war, and we will definitely avenge this grave crime. We will not let them get away so easily.”
Iran’s powerful missile and drone attack has sent shockwaves across the region. Many Gulf countries have closed their airports and restricted airspace to protect civilians from any potential strikes.
Experts believe this conflict is unlikely to remain limited to Israel and Iran alone — its ripple effects could destabilize the entire Middle East. Both the United States and the European Union have urged both sides to exercise restraint to prevent a wider war.
Meanwhile, Israel’s security cabinet has convened an emergency meeting and placed the entire nation on high alert. From Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, air defense systems have been fully activated. Citizens have been advised to stay near bunkers and safe shelters.
According to Iranian media reports, further retaliatory actions are being planned. Sources suggest that Iran has already deployed its Revolutionary Guards near border areas, and a cyberattack on Israeli infrastructure cannot be ruled out.
While Israel and Iran have exchanged sporadic attacks in the past, this confrontation is being described as far more intense and dangerous than previous clashes. The international community fears that the conflict could spill over into other countries like Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq.
