Israel Conducts Airstrikes on Iran After Attacks

In a significant escalation of tensions, Israel has launched targeted airstrikes against military sites in Iran, following Tehran's ballistic missile attack on October 1, which involved approximately 200 missiles aimed at Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Iran that it had made a 'big mistake' and would face consequences for its actions. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated the attacks were in response to months of continuous aggression from Iran and its proxies, highlighting that hostilities have occurred on multiple fronts since October 7. Explosions were reported in Tehran and nearby cities as the IDF confirmed it was conducting 'precise strikes' to defend the state. The US has supported Israel's right to respond, characterizing the strikes as an act of self-defense. As of now, there has been no immediate information regarding damage or casualties in Iran following the strikes.
