Israel Launches 'Operation Rising Lion' Against Iran

Tensions between Israel and Iran have escalated, with Israel launching 'Operation Rising Lion' targeting Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities and striking sites such as Tehran's Shahran oil depot. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that 'Tehran will burn' if attacks on Israeli civilians continue. Israel also conducted operations against Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen. In retaliation, Iran launched hundreds of missiles and drones, causing casualties and significant destruction in both Israel and Iran. Both Israeli and Iranian leaders have issued strong warnings, showing no signs of de-escalation. U.S. support for Israel continues, but diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict remain uncertain as fears of a wider regional war grow.
