In a dramatic escalation of regional tensions, Israel has launched what officials are calling a “major strike” on multiple military and nuclear facilities inside Iran. The overnight operation targeted sites believed to be central to Iran’s weapons development infrastructure.
According to Israeli defense sources, the strikes aimed to neutralize facilities associated with missile production, air defense systems, and nuclear enrichment. Footage circulating on international media shows explosions near key locations, though the full extent of the damage is still being assessed.
Iranian state media confirmed the attacks and reported “limited casualties,” while vowing a “strong and immediate response.” Air raid sirens were heard across several Iranian cities, and emergency protocols were activated near suspected target zones.
The international community has expressed deep concern over the situation, urging restraint from both sides. The United Nations has called for an emergency session to address the crisis.
This strike marks one of the most direct confrontations between the two nations in years, heightening fears of a broader regional conflict in the Middle East.
