In a significant escalation of hostilities, Israel launched airstrikes on military targets in central and western Iran early on Monday, responding to missile attacks that originated from Iran. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reported missiles being fired towards Israel, leading to sirens sounding in various regions. Explosions were reported in multiple Iranian cities, including Tehran, Isfahan, Tabriz, and Karaj, prompting Iran to temporarily close airspace around Tehran's main international airport. The strikes represent the first direct military action from Iran against Israel since a ceasefire was established in April. Iran's Revolutionary Guards warned that any further Israeli attacks would be met with severe retaliation. Amid this rising tension, US President Donald Trump advised Netanyahu against immediate retaliation, suggesting that further strikes could lead to prolonged conflict. Trump's comments indicate a potential rift with Israel as he seeks to manage US-Iran relations and avoid escalating military engagements. The situation remains precarious, with fears that these exchanges could lead to a broader regional conflict.
