On Monday, Iran unleashed a barrage of missiles and drones targeting Israel, while simultaneously issuing a stark warning to the United States about potential retaliation. This aggressive move was in response to recent strikes by the Trump administration on Iranian nuclear facilities, raising fears of a broader regional conflict.
Iran's military operation, dubbed 'True Promise 3,' aimed at the Israeli cities of Haifa and Tel Aviv, marked a significant escalation in tensions. The Israeli defense systems were activated to intercept the incoming threats. The attack followed the US's controversial intervention in the ongoing conflict by targeting Iranian nuclear sites.
In reaction, global leaders, including the EU, urged for de-escalation and a return to diplomatic negotiations, highlighting concerns over the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil route. Meanwhile, Iran's foreign minister was engaged in discussions with Russia, seeking support from its strategic ally.
