BREAKING NEWS – MIDDLE EAST TENSIONS RISE
In the latest escalation of the Israel-Iran conflict, multiple strikes have been reported inside Iran, targeting key military and strategic facilities. Explosions were heard in cities including Isfahan, Shiraz, and near Tehran, according to Iranian state media and eyewitness accounts.
The origin of the strikes is widely believed to be Israeli air and drone operations, though Israeli officials have neither confirmed nor denied involvement. These actions follow recent clashes, cyberattacks, and regional skirmishes that have pushed both nations closer to open warfare.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps has vowed a strong retaliation, and military analysts are now closely watching whether Tehran will target U.S. military bases in the region — particularly those in Iraq, Syria, and the Gulf — which Iran has previously accused of supporting Israeli operations.
The White House issued a statement urging restraint, emphasizing that the U.S. “is not seeking war but will defend its forces if attacked.” U.S. forces in the region have been placed on high alert, with troop movements and air defense systems being repositioned in anticipation of possible missile threats.
In Tehran, public broadcasts have called for national unity, while officials accuse both Israel and the U.S. of pushing the region toward full-scale war. Iran’s Supreme National Security Council has convened an emergency session, and missile systems have reportedly been deployed near borders.
Meanwhile, the UN Security Council has called an urgent meeting amid fears of a broader regional conflict involving multiple nations and proxies.
