Israel persists with aerial attacks, and Prime Minister Netanyahu issues a warning to Tehran: "We will strike all sites and targets of the regime"
In a shocking turn of events, Israel continues to ratchet up the tension, bombing various regions of Iran for a second consecutive day. Recent attacks have left a staggering 99 lives lost, with 59 minors among the fatalities in Tehran and East Azerbaijan provinces.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu didn't hold back, declaring a new aerial attack on Iran's capital: "We will annihilate all sites and targets of the ayatollahs' regime," he stated in a video distributed by his office. Israeli military has revealed their targets in Iran, including military commanders, nuclear power plants, air defense systems, missiles, and nuclear scientists. This brutal offensive is intended to eliminate an 'existential threat' to Israel, according to the Hebrew state.
Netanyahu went on to promise: "We have paved the way to Tehran. In the very near future, you will see Israeli aircraft, the Israeli Air Force, our pilots, flying over the skies of Tehran." It seems Israel is going after a 'double threat' in Iran – the production of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.
Netanyahu hinted that Iran desires to manufacture 20,000 ballistic missiles meant to "wipe out the State of Israel." He added, "What you have felt so far is nothing compared to what you will feel in the coming days."
The ongoing conflict has escalated significantly since a series of Israeli airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear infrastructure and military assets in mid-June 2025. Known as "Operation Rising Lion," this preemptive measure by Israel was taken in response to perceived Iranian threats toward an imminent existential threat due to Iran’s advancement toward nuclear weapons capability[1][2].
Iran's response to Israel's campaign is still emerging, with reports of retaliatory actions and high-profile assassinations of key Iranian military commanders[3]. The conflict appears to be part of a broader, ongoing confrontation that involves Iran’s use of proxy groups and direct attacks against Israel for at least 20 months prior to these strikes[2].
This volatile conflict continues to unfold, with the international community keeping a watchful eye on further escalations.
The global community is closely monitoring the intensifying conflict between Israel and Iran, as the ongoing war-and-conflicts have led to a concerning loss of 99 lives, with 59 minors among the fatalities in Tehran and East Azerbaijan provinces. In the face of this turmoil, the average citizen grapples with the increasing political instability, as general-news outlets deliver daily reports on the escalating tensions.
