Israel and Iran have entered a rapid escalation cycle, trading heavy airstrikes across key hotspots just a day after the U.S. targeted three major Iranian nuclear sites.
On Monday, explosions rocked Tehran as the Israeli military announced a series of strikes on government and military facilities in the capital. Israel also confirmed air raids aimed at severing access to Iran's Fordow nuclear site.
In response, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it launched drone and missile attacks on multiple locations across Israel — from Tel Aviv to Haifa. Iranian state media added that lawmakers are now reviewing a bill to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, a move that could deepen the standoff.
Across social platforms, real-time videos capturing Jerusalem's Old City skyline and coastal scenes from Haifa are flooding feeds, reminding viewers worldwide of the human dimension behind the headlines.
As both sides brace for what could become a prolonged confrontation, stay tuned for updates on this rapidly evolving story.
