Tensions have escalated again in the Middle East following Israel's attacks on Iran's cities of Tehran, Isfahan, Tabriz, and Karaj. As Iran's retaliatory strikes continue, Iranian leader Mojtaba Khamenei delivered a harsh message to Israel, saying, "The shaky Zionist regime has only a few days left to breathe." Amid the rising mutual threats, fears of a new wave of war in the region are growing.
The fragile balance established after the ceasefire that took effect in April in the Middle East has completely collapsed. The attacks launched by Israel on various cities in Iran early in the morning and Iran's response to these attacks have brought new concerns of war to the region.
The Israeli army targeted several points, primarily Tehran, Isfahan, Tabriz, and Karaj, in response to Iran's recent missile attacks. While Iranian media reported explosions in some areas following the attacks, the Tehran administration announced that retaliation would not be delayed.
IRAN RETALIATED
Iran's Revolutionary Guard announced that they conducted new missile operations against Israel. In the statement, it was noted that the Nevatim and Tel Nof air bases in Israel were targeted.
As sirens sounded in many cities in Israel, air defense systems were activated. It was reported that explosion sounds were heard in some areas.
NOTEWORTHY POST FROM KHAMENEI
Following these developments, Iran's leader Mojtaba Khamenei published a striking message targeting Israel on his social media account.
In his post, Khamenei stated, "The shaky Zionist regime has only a few days left to breathe."
The Iranian leader's statement came at a time when mutual attacks between the two countries continue and concerns are rising that the war could spread to a wider area in the region.
TRUMP'S CALL FAILED
US President Donald Trump was alleged to have called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to delay retaliation against Iran. However, Israel's operations this morning were interpreted as Washington's diplomatic efforts failing.
Meanwhile, Israeli media reported that Prime Minister Netanyahu would convene the security cabinet with an extraordinary agenda during the day. The meeting is expected to address Iran's recent attacks and Israel's next steps.
MARKETS ALSO AFFECTED
The mutual attacks impacted not only the political and military fronts but also the economic sphere. It was reported that oil prices rose due to increasing war concerns, while investors turned to assets seen as safe havens.
As developments in the region are closely monitored, new statements from the parties and potential attacks remain on the world public's agenda.
