Tehran, Iran – On June 18, 2025, intense Israeli airstrikes struck Tehran overnight, marking the sixth day of escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. Israeli warplanes specifically targeted a centrifuge production facility and missile component sites, severely impacting Iran’s military infrastructure. The bombardment resulted in massive explosions, shaking buildings and sending shockwaves throughout the capital. As a consequence, thousands of residents fled Tehran, fearing for their safety.
The relationship between the two nations has worsened after U.S. President Donald Trump called for Iran’s “unconditional surrender.” In response, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, issued a defiant warning of “irreparable damage” should the U.S. intervene further. Despite these threats, Iran launched hypersonic missiles targeting Israel, affirming its continued resolve in the conflict.
The current conflict has already led to significant casualties. According to a human rights group, there have been nearly 600 deaths and over 1,300 wounded in Iran so far. Meanwhile, the U.S. has deployed fighter jets and warships throughout the Middle East as tensions escalate, raising concerns about the possibility of a wider regional war.
This crisis has also caused instability in global oil markets and heightened global geopolitical concerns. Experts warn that the ongoing strikes may:
- Accelerate Iran’s nuclear ambitions
- Further destabilize the region
