The Israel-Iran conflict has intensified. Attacks on the Iranian President’s house and several other locations have been confirmed. The Supreme Leader was taken to a safe place. Sirens are sounding in Israel, airspace is closed and missile alert has been issued.
Iran President House Attack: The situation in the Middle East seems to be deteriorating rapidly. The news of the attack on the house of the President of Iran has shocked the whole world. Iran itself has confirmed that attacks have taken place at more than 30 places across the country. These are said to include houses of ministers, hideouts of security forces and offices of intelligence agencies. The biggest news is that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has been taken to a safe place. However, Iran has not yet clarified in which areas the attacks took place.
Is this a major military operation by Israel?
Israel’s military Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had already confirmed the attack on Iran. Israel’s Defense Minister has called it a “pre-emptive strike”. Sirens are continuously sounding in Israel and citizens have been advised to stay near safe rooms. However, at present no order has been given to go to the shelter.

Will Iran retaliate?
This is the biggest question. If there is a retaliatory missile attack from Iran, this conflict could turn into a major war. The IDF has already alerted people to a possible missile attack. Initial reports from Tehran confirmed the sound of the explosions. Now attacks are being reported at more than 30 places, due to which the tension has increased further.
Why did Israel close the airspace?
Israel has closed its airspace to civilian flights after the attack. The Transportation Ministry has clearly said that no passenger should reach the airport until further notice. Israeli citizens abroad have been advised to monitor their airline and media updates. An appeal has been made to follow the instructions of the National Security Council. The airspace will be reopened only after the security situation returns to normal. Information will be given 24 hours before the start of flights.

Has a major war started in the Middle East?
The attacks on the President’s residence, ministers’ homes and security facilities do not indicate any ordinary action. This conflict has now directly reached the top leadership. The world is now eyeing Iran’s next move and the international reaction. Will diplomacy handle the situation, or will this crisis set the entire region ablaze? The coming hours could be very decisive.
