Iranian Chief of Staff announced that Iran has struck three major air bases and a Mossad headquarters in a coordinated attack. “We struck three main air bases and a Mossad headquarters in the attack,” the Iranian Chief of Staff stated. According to Iranian officials, ballistic missiles have targeted and begun destroying Israel’s military infrastructure in Tel Aviv.

 

 

 

The situation continues to escalate, with Iran’s Defense Minister issuing a stern warning: “If the region falls into war, we will escalate more severely in the next waves.” This declaration signals Tehran’s readiness to intensify its military campaign if conflict breaks out further in the region.

 

 

 

 

The U.S. responded swiftly, condemning Iran’s actions and reaffirming its commitment to its allies in the Middle East. “Iran cannot be allowed to fire ballistic missiles at any American ally without significant repercussions,” a U.S. government official stated, underscoring the potential for heightened military tensions.

 

 

 

 

The conflict raises concerns about the broader implications for the region as fears of a full-scale war loom large. Both Iran and Israel have exchanged threats in the past, but this recent development marks a sharp escalation, potentially drawing in other regional and global powers.
