Intensifying Israel-Iran Conflict

Continued Strikes:

Israel has continued its strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites, including the Arak heavy water reactor. Iran has retaliated with missile and drone attacks on Israeli cities like Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Beersheba, with reports of a missile hitting Soroka Medical Center in southern Israel.

Threats and Warnings:

Israel's defense minister has explicitly threatened Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The White House has stated that President Trump will decide on potential US action in the conflict within two weeks and is weighing a strike on Iran's Fordo nuclear site. Russia and China have "strongly condemned" Israeli strikes and urged diplomatic solutions, while Russia has also warned the US against military intervention, calling it an "extremely dangerous step."

Regional Impact:

Airports across the Middle East are experiencing closures due to the conflict, and US airlines have suspended some flights to the region. There are also reports of US and Israeli missile interceptor supplies dwindling.
