🔥 The Middle East is on edge as Israel and Iran exchange heavy airstrikes, marking one of the most volatile moments in the region this year. Just 24 hours after the U.S. targeted three Iranian nuclear facilities, explosions rocked Tehran early Monday, with Israel confirming strikes on government and military sites. The Israeli military also launched raids aimed at blocking access to Iran’s Fordow nuclear complex, a key uranium-enrichment hub.
💣 Iran retaliated swiftly, with its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claiming drone and missile attacks on Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv and Haifa. Social media footage showed plumes of smoke rising near Haifa’s port, though official damage reports remain unclear. Meanwhile, Iranian lawmakers are debating a bill to halt cooperation with the UN’s nuclear watchdog (IAEA), raising fears of a broader atomic standoff.
🌐 Why it matters: This escalation follows months of proxy conflicts, but direct strikes between the two nations are rare. Analysts warn the situation could spiral, impacting global oil prices and regional stability. The U.S. has yet to comment on today’s developments.
