International News: The ongoing tensions between Iran and Israel over the past few days have now escalated into what appears to be an open war. On Saturday night, Iran fired about 70 ballistic missiles towards the Israeli city of Haifa. More than 14 people are reported to have been injured in these attacks, while a woman has also been reported dead. However, Israeli officials have not yet confirmed this.
Israel's response: Fire in Tehran
Even before Iran's attack, Israel had been carrying out rapid attacks on Iranian targets for several days. On Saturday, Israel targeted an oil depot in Tehran, causing a massive explosion and fire in the area. Flames rising to the sky and thick smoke were clearly seen in the video that surfaced. It is believed that Israel has also targeted the area in Tehran where Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei resides.
People huddled in bunkers, security cabinet on alert
After the Iranian missiles fired on Haifa, Israel's security cabinet called an emergency meeting, and citizens were advised to stay in bunkers. A red alert has been issued across the country. Military sources claim that this attack is a warning to Israel, and the situation may worsen. Citizens were seen running towards safe places with their children.
Celebrations in Yemen and Palestine, diplomatic activity intensifies
Meanwhile, Israel also attacked Yemen's capital, Sanaa, killing a prominent Houthi leader. Houthi rebels are believed to be Iran-backed. At the same time, Palestinian citizens in Gaza and the West Bank celebrated and came out on the streets due to Iran's attack. This regional tension has also activated international leaders. US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin had a phone conversation in which Putin appealed for peace, but Trump retaliated by taunting the Russia-Ukraine war.
Diplomacy or war: The world at a decisive turning point
The Iranian President spoke to the Saudi Crown Prince and tried to get regional support in this conflict. Meanwhile, Turkish President Erdogan has asked Trump to resume nuclear talks. On the other hand, Israel claimed that Iran has 15 nuclear bombs, and now it has no option left except self-defense. If a solution is not found soon, this tension can take the world to the threshold of a third war.
