The Iranian ballistic missiles, reportedly fired from rural Daraa in Syria, have been intercepted by 'Israeli' fighter jets. This has led to a state of emergency in Israel, with the country's airspace closed and citizens warned of potential Iranian retaliation. The US has distanced itself from the attack, warning Iran not to target American assets.
The escalation comes amidst global market volatility. Oil prices have surged, and stocks have fallen amid fears of broader regional conflict. The US President Donald Trump has shifted his tone, urging Iran to seize the opportunity for peace and avoid further bloodshed. He emphasized the military strength of the United States and Israel, stating that several Iranian hardliners who spoke defiantly are now dead.
The Israeli military has confirmed the death of Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) air force, during the strikes. Iranian officials have not yet confirmed the death. Iran has replaced top commanders killed in the 'Israeli' attack, with Lieutenant General Mohammad Pakpour appointed as the new commander of the IRGC and Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi as the new chief of the general staff of the armed forces.
Jordan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ayman Safadi, has condemned the Israeli strike on Iran, warning it could trigger a broader regional conflict. He cautioned that such actions risk dragging the region further towards the abyss of regional war and urged the international community to step in.
The situation remains fluid, with the possibility of further escalation. The global financial markets are closely watching the developments, with any additional military actions likely to have significant impacts on energy prices and regional stability.
