Tehran has denounced Israeli strikes targeting military leaders and nuclear sites as a ‘declaration of war,’ escalating tensions in the region. A diplomatic de-escalation seems like a distant prospect.
The Israeli military reportedly carried out precision strikes on key Iranian military installations in response to recent attacks on Israeli diplomats and facilities. These actions have intensified regional fears of a broader conflict, particularly with the United States and other global powers closely monitoring the situation.
Iranian officials have vowed to retaliate, with senior clerics and military commanders calling for a measured but firm response. Meanwhile, the United Nations is expected to hold emergency meetings to address the crisis, though many analysts believe that any resolution will take months, if not years, to materialize.
