In a dramatic escalation of regional tensions, Israel announced it targeted two Iranian F-14 fighter jets at Tehran’s airport using a drone on Monday. The Israeli military stated the jets were intended to intercept its aircraft, adding that it also thwarted an attempted drone launch toward Israel. 🚨
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared the Air Force now "controls the skies over Tehran," framing the strikes as part of a broader mission to eliminate Iran’s nuclear and missile threats. Earlier, Israeli warplanes reportedly hit weapons-laden trucks and missile launchers moving from western Iran toward the capital.
The move comes amid a high-stakes showdown between the two nations, reminiscent of a Hollywood action flick—except the stakes are all too real. Analysts warn the strikes could further destabilize the region, with global markets closely watching for ripple effects. 💥
Netanyahu’s bold claims highlight Israel’s aggressive posture, but questions linger about long-term consequences. For now, the skies over Tehran remain a flashpoint in this geopolitical drama. 🔍
