In a dramatic escalation, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei warned that Israel will face a bitter fate following preemptive air strikes on Iranian targets earlier today.
According to state media, the strikes led to tragic losses—including top military commanders and nuclear scientists—and caused explosions in Tehran, Natanz, Khondab, and Khorramabad.
A spokesperson for the Iranian Armed Forces stated that Israel is set to pay a heavy price. With reports of over 100 drones launched by Iran, tensions are surging as the Israeli Defense Forces work to counter the threat. Meanwhile, Israel confirmed a precise, combined attack on multiple military and nuclear sites, with officials insisting the operation is essential for self-defense.
International voices are now weighing in. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that there was no American assistance in the unilateral action, while UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned against further military escalation. Even former U.S. leader Donald Trump cautioned that a massive conflict in the Middle East could be looming.
As this high-stakes story continues to evolve, one thing is clear: the situation in the region is more volatile than ever. Stay tuned for updates as we follow this unfolding saga. ⚡️📰
