Escalation in Middle East: Iran Retaliates with Cluster Missile Strike

Iran launched a missile attack on Tel Aviv in retaliation for Israel's assassination of Iran's security chief Ali Larijani. The conflict between Israel, the U.S., and Iran continues to escalate, impacting global oil prices and increasing regional tensions. The death toll in the conflict rises as diplomatic resolutions remain elusive.

Iran has launched an aggressive missile attack targeting Tel Aviv, claiming it as a response to the assassination of its security chief Ali Larijani by Israeli forces, according to Iranian state television.

The missiles, equipped with cluster warheads, impacted densely populated areas, killing at least two people and adding to the rising death toll in Israel's ongoing conflict with Iran.

The attack, marking a new phase of the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, has led to surging oil prices as the strategic Strait of Hormuz remains threatened, raising fears of broader regional instability.
