Iran has launched a fresh wave of missile attacks on Israel, sharply escalating tensions in the already volatile Middle East. Several missiles struck areas including Tel Aviv, damaging buildings and injuring civilians, while emergency teams rushed in to provide aid and assess the damage.
The strikes come amid diplomatic uncertainty. Donald Trump had suggested that negotiations with Iran were progressing and hinted at delaying possible U.S. strikes. Tehran, however, quickly denied any talks were taking place, calling such claims false.
In response to the missile attacks, Israel carried out airstrikes on multiple targets in Tehran, including military and intelligence facilities, signalling its readiness to continue offensive operations. The conflict has also raised global concerns, particularly regarding energy security, as Iran warned of possible threats to the Strait of Hormuz, a key channel for international oil shipments.
With missiles continuing to fly and no diplomatic breakthrough in sight, analysts warn the situation could spiral into a wider regional conflict, affecting not just the Middle East but also global markets and stability.
