Israel's major military attack
Israel on friday launched a major military operation in many parts of iran, including Tehran. In these attacks, many senior Iranian military officials and nuclear scientists have died and important nuclear infrastructure has also been damaged. A major target of the attacks was the nuclear enrichment facility located about 18 miles from the city of Qom.
Iran's strong retaliation
In response, iran fired hundreds of drones and missiles, which has brought tensions between the two countries to a peak. This confrontation has now entered a new and dangerous phase, causing concern throughout the Middle East. Meanwhile, many Middle Eastern countries have closed their airports and limited the airspace, raising fears that this conflict could soon take the form of a major war.
Khamenei's strong warning
On Saturday, Iran's supreme Leader Ayatollah ali Khamenei gave an open warning to Israel. He said, "Israel should not think that the matter is over after attacking. They have started the war and they will be punished for this big crime." Khamenei made this statement in a pre-recorded video on Iranian TV, in which he talked about taking revenge.
