Iran Prepares Retaliation Following Israeli Attacks

Iran is preparing to respond to recent Israeli airstrikes that targeted its military sites, as stated by senior adviser Ali Larijani. This follows a period of escalating tensions marked by Iran's launch of approximately 200 ballistic missiles at Israel. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) conducted pre-dawn strikes on Iranian military targets, deliberately avoiding nuclear and oil facilities, aiming to deter further aggression from Iran. In the wake of these developments, the U.S. has expressed hopes that this exchange will conclude direct military conflict between the two nations, although regional reactions have been critical of Israel's actions. Additionally, Iran's nuclear program faces scrutiny after the IAEA's resolution, prompting Iran to activate advanced centrifuges for uranium enrichment. The situation remains volatile, with potential implications for regional stability and international relations.
