In a retaliatory move, Israel launched a series of pre-dawn airstrikes on Iran on Saturday, following a barrage of ballistic missiles fired by the Islamic Republic at Israel earlier this month. The explosions from the airstrikes could be heard in Tehran, the Iranian capital, despite the Iranian government’s claims that the attacks only caused “limited damage.” State-run media in Iran downplayed the extent of the retaliation by Israel.
The tensions between Iran and Israel have been escalating in recent weeks, with both sides accusing each other of provocations and acts of aggression. The latest round of airstrikes by Israel marks a significant escalation in the conflict between the two countries.
The international community is closely monitoring the situation, as the conflict between Israel and Iran has the potential to further destabilize the already volatile region. The United Nations and other global powers have called for de-escalation and dialogue to resolve the ongoing conflict between the two countries.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Iran will respond to the airstrikes by Israel and whether the conflict will escalate further. The world will be watching closely as the tensions between these two regional powers continue to simmer.
