🔍 What’s Next
- Escalation risk: Israel has warned of further strikes, even targeting Iranian defense factories, and Western powers (U.S., UK) are beefing up defenses in the region to help intercept incoming Iranian missiles.
- Diplomacy sidelined: Scheduled nuclear talks have been postponed as military operations take precedence.
This direct military exchange—unprecedented in scale—marks the most serious escalation to date, with heavy civilian tolls on both sides and extensive infrastructure damage. The situation remains fluid and dangerously volatile.
