Intense Israeli airstrikes have struck Tehran, Iran’s capital, amid the escalating conflict in the Middle East. These airstrikes have targeted critical military and nuclear sites, including uranium centrifuge production facilities, marking the sixth consecutive day of fierce confrontation. According to human rights organizations, the conflict has caused nearly 600 casualties and over 1,300 injuries within Iran.
The situation worsened after U.S. President Donald Trump demanded Iran’s “unconditional surrender” and considered joining Israel in striking Iranian nuclear locations. This development is in contrast to U.S. intelligence assessments, which do not believe Iran is close to developing nuclear weapons.
In response, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei firmly rejected the notion of surrender and issued a warning about potential “irreparable damage” if the U.S. intervenes. Tehran has retaliated by launching hypersonic missiles targeting Israel, indicating a significant escalation in the conflict. This situation has caused thousands of civilians to flee Tehran to escape ongoing bombings, heightening fears of a broader regional conflict.
The Pentagon has moved warplanes and an aircraft carrier towards the Middle East, reflecting mounting diplomatic and military tensions. The future of the conflict remains uncertain, with threats looming from all sides.
