Israel has retaliated with air strikes on Iran, targeting military sites in the capital Tehran. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed that all planes returned safely after hitting Iranian military bases in the west and south west of Tehran. However, Iranian state media is denying any significant damage from the strikes.
The air strikes were launched in response to what the IDF described as “months of continuous attacks” from Iran, and following a barrage of Iranian missiles hitting Israel on 1 October. Prime Minister Keir Starmer of the United Kingdom has urged Iran not to respond to the Israeli strikes.
This escalation of tensions between Israel and Iran highlights the ongoing conflict between the two countries. The situation remains fluid, with both parties continuing to exchange threats and attacks. As the world watches closely, the implications of this latest round of violence could have far-reaching consequences for the region.
