In a dramatic twist in the Middle East, long-simmering tensions between Iran and Israel have burst into full-scale military action. The conflict reached a new level on June 18 when Israel launched air strikes on Tehran—mainly targeting the eastern and northeastern parts of the city—sending shockwaves across the region. 🚨
In a bold statement, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei told the U.S., "They should know that Iran will not surrender." This remark underscores the intensity of the situation as world leaders race to calm the rising storm.

As the conflict unfolds, many questions remain about its duration and the potential for further military actions. Stay tuned as we bring you continuous updates on this critical situation.
