[Middle East Crisis] The conflict between Iran and Israel has intensified further, with both sides continuing missile and airstrikes across the region. Iran reportedly launched missiles targeting Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Jerusalem, while the IRGC claimed responsibility for striking the Ramat David Airbase using ballistic missiles. [Israeli Response] In retaliation, Israel carried out airstrikes on several Iranian cities, including Tehran, Tabriz, and Isfahan, with reports of heavy explosions and a major fire at Mehrabad Airport in Tehran. [US-Israel Tensions] The situation has also exposed growing diplomatic friction between Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu. Reports suggest Trump has opposed further escalation, particularly Israeli strikes in Lebanon, and has urged a return to negotiations, claiming a potential deal with Iran is close. Netanyahu, however, has maintained a hardline stance on military operations. [Regional Fallout] Airspace restrictions have been imposed across multiple countries, including Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Israel, as tensions rise. A reported surveillance drone crash in Baghdad further highlights the expanding scope of the conflict. Meanwhile, celebrations and protests have been seen in parts of Iran and Lebanon, reflecting sharply divided regional reactions to the ongoing escalation.
