International News: The Iran-Israel war in West Asia reached a dangerously volatile point on its sixth day, Wednesday, raising deep concern across the international community. In a major escalation, Iran claimed it had launched its ‘Fattah-1’ hypersonic missile at Israel for the first time, striking Tel Aviv and triggering powerful explosions. This is the same missile Iran has famously dubbed “400 Seconds to Tel Aviv,” underscoring its speed and strategic reach.
Big turn in war due to Fattah-1 missile
Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) issued a statement saying that this is the first time that 'Fattah-1' has been used during the war. This hypersonic weapon attacks at such a high speed that even modern defense systems are unable to catch it. Iranian media claimed that the missile hit caused massive explosions in the northwestern parts of Tel Aviv and created panic among the people.
Israel's retaliation: Bombing on Tehran's bases
In response, the Israeli Air Force immediately retaliated and hit military bases located on the outskirts of Tehran with precision. According to reports, sounds of explosions were heard in areas like District 18 and Karaj of the Iranian capital. The local administration had already given instructions to evacuate these areas, due to which a large number of people came out safely.
Trump's sharp attack: "Surrender unconditionally."
US President Donald Trump took a very aggressive stance on this entire incident and wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social, "We know where Ayatollah Khamenei is hiding, but we are not doing anything right now... at least not right now." After this, he wrote in warning words, "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!" i.e., "Surrender unconditionally!"
According to US military sources, Trump held a 90-minute meeting with the National Security Council on Tuesday in which Iran's nuclear program and possible military options were considered.
Iran's response: “The war begins.”
In response to US pressure, Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, posted on Twitter in Persian: “The war begins” and “Ali has returned to Khayber.” This was a direct message to Israel through symbols of Shia history that Iran will not back down.
Can a major war be avoided?
The Iran-Israel conflict is no longer a limited confrontation. When hypersonic missiles are being used on one side and nuclear options are being talked about on the other, it is a matter of concern for the whole world. If there is no international mediation soon, this war could turn into a terrible human tragedy.
