International News: The ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel has now taken a serious turn. Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei posted a fiery post on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, "The war begins." He also used historical and religious allusions like "Ali has returned to Khaiber" in this post, which reminds us of the victory over the Jewish fort of Khaiber in the 7th century. His statement is being considered an open warning against Israel.

A few minutes later, Khamenei made another post in which he wrote, "We must give a strong answer to the terrorist Jewish regime." There will be no mercy for the Zionists." This language is clearly like a declaration of war, and its purpose may also be to put Israel under mental pressure.
Conflict on the sixth day: Tel Aviv shaken by missile attacks
This entire dispute has now entered its sixth day. According to the Israeli Defense Forces, two missile attacks from Iran were recorded in the first two hours of Wednesday morning. Several missiles were confirmed to have fallen in Tel Aviv and surrounding areas, causing loud explosions and panic across the region. Israel's Iron Dome system destroyed some of the missiles midair, but there was no easing of tensions.
Trump's counter-attack: 'We know where Khamenei is hiding.'
A few hours after Khamenei's statement, US President Donald Trump posted aggressive posts on his social media site 'Truth Social.' He wrote, "Iran has tracking systems and defense equipment, but they cannot stand against American technology. We know where this so-called 'Supreme Leader' is hiding. We are not killing him yet... at least not right now. But our patience is now ending."After this, Trump made another post in just three minutes: "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!" —that is, unconditional surrender, which is a clear indication of America's aggressive policy.
American preparations intensify; Trump returns from G-7 summit
Due to increasing tension in West Asia, Trump left the G-7 summit midway and held an emergency meeting with the National Security Council. According to media reports, the US has deployed more fighter jets in the Middle East, and the deployment period of existing forces has also been extended.America is now seriously considering the option of destroying Iran's underground nuclear sites.
Will there be any diplomatic solution?
If experts are to be believed, if both sides do not back off, then this conflict can soon turn into a big war. Khamenei's religious warnings and Trump's military threat have both crossed the limits of restraint. This situation is now becoming a threat to the security and stability of not just two countries, but the entire West Asia.
