Israel has intensified its air campaign across Iran, with devastating strikes hitting the capital, Tehran, including the destruction of Iran’s state media complex, an event captured live on television.
Iran has condemned the attack as a war crime, while many residents are attempting to flee the city amid the chaos. Israel claims to have gained air control over Tehran, with additional strikes targeting both military and civilian sites.
In response, Iran has launched further missile attacks on parts of Israel, escalating the conflict.
The strikes follow reports of significant damage to Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure, aligning with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s stated goal of preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
Israel has shown no willingness to negotiate, maintaining its aggressive stance despite the mounting toll.
At the G7 summit in Canada, U.S. President Donald Trump commented on the situation, asserting that Iran is “not winning the war” and urging its leaders to engage in peace talks with Israel “before it is too late.” His remarks come as the conflict enters a critical phase, with no immediate signs of de-escalation from either side.
The ongoing violence has raised global concerns, with Iran’s retaliatory missile strikes and Israel’s expanded campaign drawing international attention. The situation remains volatile as both nations continue their military exchanges.
