📰 Israel–Iran Escalation: A Turning Point in the Middle East 🌍

Over the past week, Israel and Iran have entered their most direct and intense conflict in decades.

🇮🇱 Israel launched “Operation Rising Lion,” striking over 100 strategic targets across Iran—nuclear sites, IRGC bases, and missile infrastructure. Precision drone strikes and cyberattacks were used alongside F‑35 air raids.

🇮🇷 Iran retaliated with 400+ ballistic missiles and 1,000 drones. While most were intercepted, a few penetrated Israeli defenses—tragically hitting civilian sites, including a hospital in Beersheba.

📉 Casualties are mounting:

– Iran reports 200+ dead and over 1,400 injured.

– Israel confirms 26 fatalities, with hundreds wounded.

This isn’t just another flare-up. It’s a hybrid war—blending cyber, covert, and air power. The region is on edge. Allies are choosing sides. Diplomats are scrambling.

💬 The big question: Can this cycle of escalation be broken—or are we witnessing the reshaping of the regional power order?
