Israeli army: Rockets fired from Iran towards Israel

The Israeli army has reported that rockets were fired from Iran towards Israel, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between the two nations. According to the latest updates from the Israeli Defense Forces, the missile strikes were intercepted by Israel’s air defense systems, with no reported casualties.

This development comes amidst a week-long air war between Israel and Iran, which has resulted in a substantial loss of life and property damage on both sides. The conflict has seen Iran targeting Israeli cities with missile strikes, while Israel has been carrying out airstrikes against Iranian military and nuclear facilities. The escalation has drawn international concern, with calls for immediate de-escalation from several world powers, including Turkey, Russia, and China.

Iranian officials have stated that the country will not engage in nuclear talks while under threat of bombardment. The Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi, has emphasized that Iran cannot negotiate with the U.S. while Israel continues its attacks. Meanwhile, Israel has maintained its stance that it will not stop the strikes until Iran dismantles its nuclear program and ballistic missile capabilities, which Israel views as an existential threat.

The conflict has also drawn the attention of the U.S., with President Donald Trump considering whether to strike or negotiate with Iran. The U.S. has shifted military assets, including B-2 stealth bombers, into position, although it is unclear whether these assets will be deployed. The U.S. has urged Iran to stop its attacks so that talks can resume, but Iran has rejected this, stating that negotiations with the U.S. are not possible while Israel continues its strikes.

The ongoing conflict has significant implications for regional stability and global energy markets. The escalation of tensions between Israel and Iran could disrupt oil and gas supplies from the Middle East, potentially impacting global energy prices. Additionally, the conflict has raised concerns about the potential for nuclear proliferation in the region, with both Israel and Iran maintaining ambiguous stances on their nuclear capabilities.
