Israel Iran Crisis News Live: The Middle East is on the brink of a dangerous escalation after Israel launched targeted strikes against what it described as key Iranian military and nuclear installations. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) have confirmed that the “first stage” of their military operation is now complete, signalling a possible continuation of coordinated attacks. Among the high-profile casualties, Iran’s Army Chief and several top nuclear scientists are believed to have been eliminated in the strikes, dealing a severe blow to Tehran’s defence and nuclear command. This development comes amid growing fears of a broader regional confrontation, especially as tensions have simmered since recent exchanges between Israeli and Iranian proxies in Lebanon and Syria.
Iran state media reported that several civilians, including women and children, have lost their lives in the Israeli strikes.
In response, Iran has declared a nationwide state of emergency, according to state-run media outlets. The situation on the ground is rapidly evolving, with multiple explosions reported across several Iranian provinces, including Kermanshah, Lorestan, and parts of the capital, Tehran.
Emergency services have been mobilized, and the Iranian military has reportedly been placed on high alert. The targeted killing of top military and nuclear figures has further inflamed an already volatile scenario. As the world watches closely, this unfolding crisis could dramatically reshape the geopolitical landscape of the region.
