🧨 Israel Launches Airstrikes on Iran After Deadly Missile Attack

In a powerful military response, Israel has launched direct airstrikes inside Iranian territory, targeting high-level defense and missile infrastructure. This follows Iran's devastating missile attack earlier today that killed at least 10 Israeli civilians and injured over 200 others.

📍 Key Highlights:

• 🇮🇷 Iran launched two missile waves on Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Rehovot.
• 🇮🇱 Israel’s Operation Rising Lion bombed Iranian military bases, oil refineries, and Tehran's Defense Ministry.
• ✈️ Airspace closed across the region — flights suspended in Israel, Iran, Iraq, and Jordan.
• 🛢️ Oil prices surged globally as markets react to growing tensions.
• 🌍 UN Security Council holds emergency session.

🗣️ What Happened?

Iran launched over 70 ballistic missiles at Israeli cities late last night. Several were intercepted by the Iron Dome, but others struck civilian zones, causing mass casualties.

Just hours later, Israeli fighter jets and drones carried out a coordinated retaliation, hitting Iranian targets in Tehran, Isfahan, and along the Gulf.

🎯 Why Is Israel Targeting Tehran?

According to Israeli officials, the Defense Ministry in Tehran was a command center for missile operations. Striking it was meant to:

• Disable Iran’s military command capability.
• Send a message of deterrence.
• Shift the regional power dynamic.

🌐 How the World Is Reacting

• Germany, France, and UK offer to mediate peace talks.
• India and China urge both sides to show restraint.
• U.S. President calls for calm but avoids taking sides.

🛢️ Oil Price Shock – Global Markets React

Brent crude oil prices spiked to $107 per barrel, the highest since early 2024. Economists warn fuel and transport costs globally may rise further if the conflict escalates.
