In a dramatic escalation, Israel bombed nuclear targets in Iran on Thursday, sparking a cycle of retaliatory strikes. According to reports, Iranian forces launched missiles and drones into Israel after an attack on an Israeli hospital overnight. This 7-day conflict shows no signs of easing, and tensions continue to rise on both sides. ⚠️
The White House announced that US President Donald Trump will decide within the next two weeks whether to back Israel. Israeli military spokesperson Brigadier General Effie Defrin accused Iran of using cluster munitions—calling it "state-sponsored terror and a blatant violation of international law." Meanwhile, Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps claimed they targeted Israeli military and intelligence headquarters near the hospital, though Israeli officials have disputed these claims.
Further complicating matters, Israel struck the headquarters of special forces linked to Tehran’s internal security apparatus, intensifying the conflict. As darkness fell, Iranian media reported that air defenses were engaging hostile targets in northern Tehran. With new developments such as the appointment of a fresh IRGC intelligence head, this unfolding drama feels like an action-packed blockbuster. Stay tuned as this high-stakes showdown continues!
