The tenuous ceasefire between Iran and Israel, which had held since April, disintegrated Monday, plunging West Asia into turmoil amid direct military confrontations and diplomatic interventions.
Missile assaults, retaliatory airstrikes, and threats of escalation unfolded rapidly, involving regional proxies as world leaders scrambled to prevent a wider war.
The escalation began with Iran's missile barrage on Israel, triggering emergency alerts. Israel's defenses responded, intercepting missiles, while Iran framed its actions as retaliation for Israeli operations in Lebanon, accusing Israel of war crimes. The situation further escalated with Israeli airstrikes on Iranian cities.
