Israel, with apparent US involvement, launched airstrikes on hundreds of sites inside Iran. The attacks reportedly killed high-ranking Iranian officials, including relatives of Supreme Leader Khamenei. Iran responded with retaliatory strikes, marking a significant escalation of the conflict.
In response to the attacks, Iran closed its airspace and airlines halted flights. Israel also shut down its offshore natural gas fields as a precaution. The exchange of strikes has raised global alarm about the potential for a wider regional war.
The situation remains fluid, with Israel assessing further scenarios and a US military buildup reported in the region. The direct strikes between Israel and Iran represent a major expansion of hostilities beyond previous proxy conflicts.
