💨 Abstract

In response to the U.S. striking Iranian nuclear sites, Iran launched missiles and drones at Israeli cities Haifa and Tel Aviv. Israel activated defense systems while the U.S. warns of escalating regional tensions. Iran threatens retaliation against U.S. interests. Global calls for de-escalation and diplomacy increase, with concerns over potential disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. The European Union expresses worry about the possibility of escalation and Iran's potential closure of the maritime route.
