In a tense escalation, Iran announced on Wednesday that it has concluded its missile attacks on Israel, with a warning against any further provocation. Despite this pause, both Israel and the United States have pledged to retaliate against Tehran's recent actions, heightening fears of a broader conflict. 🔥
Washington stated it will collaborate closely with its ally Israel to ensure Iran faces \"severe consequences\" for the missile strikes that occurred on Tuesday. This move underscores the strong alliance between the two nations amidst growing regional tensions.
The United Nations Security Council has scheduled a meeting on the Middle East for Wednesday, aiming to address the escalating situation. Meanwhile, the European Union has called for an immediate ceasefire, urging all parties to de-escalate tensions to prevent further violence.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi took to X (formerly Twitter) to assert, \"Our action is concluded unless the Israeli regime decides to invite further retaliation. In that scenario, our response will be stronger and more powerful.\" This statement signals a potential for increased conflict if provocations continue.
Amid these developments, Israel has intensified its bombardment of Beirut's southern suburbs, a known Hezbollah stronghold. At least three strikes targeted areas believed to be associated with the group, resulting in large plumes of smoke rising from the region. 🚁
New evacuation orders have been issued for these areas, which have largely been emptied following days of heavy bombardment. The ongoing attacks have left residents in a state of uncertainty as tensions remain high in the region.
