Top Story:
According to multiple Iranian media outlets, Tehran is preparing to launch the most intense missile attack in its history against Israel. This could mark a dangerous escalation in the already heated Israel-Iran conflict, with the possibility of hundreds of missiles and drones being launched simultaneously.
What’s Happening on the Ground?
Iran has already launched over 350 missiles and more than 100 drones at Israeli cities as part of Operation True Promise III.
Targeted cities include Tel Aviv, Haifa, Petah Tikva, and Bat Yam.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claim to have intercepted 80–90% of the projectiles, but some missiles hit residential areas, resulting in at least 24 deaths and over 730 injuries.
Inside Iran:
In retaliation, Israel has carried out airstrikes on Tehran and several strategic Iranian military sites.
Panic has gripped Tehran, with mass evacuations underway. Thousands are fleeing the capital in fear of further Israeli strikes.
International Response:
The UN, G7 nations, and the United States have all called for an immediate ceasefire.
The U.S. has warned Iran against targeting Western forces and has pledged support to Israel’s missile defense systems.
France, the UK, and Germany are also advising their citizens in the region to relocate or evacuate.
What to Expect Next:
Will Iran go ahead with its “largest-ever” missile strike?
Can diplomacy stop this from spiraling into a full-scale war?
Will more countries get dragged into this rapidly growing conflict?
