Tensions between Israel and Iran have escalated with explosions heard near the airport in Isfahan, Iran.

In response to Tehran's actions, Israel has retaliated with missile strikes against Iran, as reported by a senior US military official. The region remains on edge as reports of explosions and missile attacks continue to surface. With Israel taking direct action against Iran, the dynamics of the conflict are shifting rapidly. Meanwhile, Iran has warned of a shift in nuclear stance if Israel threatens atomic sites, indicating a potential escalation in the already tense situation.

Interesting Fact: This recent escalation marks the first-ever direct strikes launched from Iranian territory onto Israeli soil.

Another Interesting Fact: The warning issued by Iran regarding a potential shift in nuclear stance comes amidst new sanctions imposed by the US and UK on Iran's drone program.
