⌨Israeli forces launched attacks on military targets in Iran, marking a significant escalation in tensions. The strikes, reported in the early hours, targeted locations in Tehran, Khuzestan, and Ilam provinces. Iranian air defenses claimed to have successfully intercepted the attacks, though some damage was reported. Throughout the day, conflicting reports emerged about the extent of the damage and casualties. By afternoon, Iranian officials confirmed the death of two military personnel, with some sources suggesting higher numbers. The international community, including regional countries and global powers, expressed concern and called for de-escalation. Iranian officials vowed to respond at an appropriate time and place. The attacks appear to be in retaliation for Iran's recent drone and missile assault on Israel, continuing the cycle of hostilities between the two nations.
