Israel Iran Tensions
In the fresh event, Iran launched a missile attack on Israel which is a major escalation in the Middle East. Sirens were going off around the country of Israel, and some of the Middle Eastern cities, especially Tel Aviv, were hit. It all started after Israel targeted Iran’s nuclear facility and some military installations which saw few casualties. Israel reported around 8 casualties caused by Iranian missiles. Both have had infrastructure damaged by an attack, The Iranian-Sahran oil facility was damaged while Israel’s city center was seen in fire.
Israel has claimed that they had treated the heart of the Iranian nuclear processing facility which will make the stop or slow down and even a few of Iranian military high-ranking officials were also killed strike by Israel. As we have seen around the world in recent times, many countries are using drones to attack each other like Ukraine – Russia or India – Pakistan escalation so Iran also used drones to strike back at Israel. Israel’s defense force (IDF)has seen a staggering 100 drones flown or targeted to them by Iranians.
Many countries have diverted their flight or avoided the conflict zone in precautionary measures, which is causing longer flight times or delays. Some flights from India saw return and cancelation. Even Israel’s flagship airline – El Al came back to the United States from mid-flight, as well as some United Airlines and Delta flights bound for Tel Aviv came back after it was over the Atlantic Ocean.
Israel has named the mission “Operation Rising Lion” as measure to prevent Iran from causing any problems to Israel and even comes to the matter of its existence. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has cited that, the operation will be continued until the spread is not removed. One news confirmed by a nuclear watchdog about Iran is that they have not disclosed their activity about the enrichment of uranium which is required by the international watching organization. Israel has long stated about Iran’s plan for weapon development which led to the strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. As those developments happened there was talking going on between the United States and Iran but it’s been stopped as of now. Trump has the hope to break a deal with Iran so they stop producing nuclear weapons or not develop one in the near future. A year back in April, the same situation was raised but it was not huge like this in terms of strikes and casualties on both sides.
The following Iranian sites were targeted and consist of :
- Research facility

Nuclear watch organizations have reported that Iran has enriched more than 60% purity which is closer to weapon-grade which can be used to make nuclear weapons.
