💨 Abstract

Israeli forces launched major strikes on Iranian nuclear and military facilities in a significant escalation of tensions, leading to explosions in Tehran and reported deaths of key Iranian military and scientific figures. Iran retaliated with over 100 drones that were mostly intercepted. The strikes came amid rising tensions over Iran's nuclear program, with Israel aiming to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear bomb. Tensions in the region have surged, pushing it into a new, uncertain phase with potential for wider conflict.
