💨 Abstract
Iran retaliated against Israeli strikes on its nuclear facilities and military leaders by launching missiles that killed two people in Israel. The strikes occurred amid rising tensions and disruptions to U.S.-Iran nuclear talks. Israel claimed the raids were preemptive, aiming to hinder Iran's nuclear capabilities. International condemnation and calls for de-escalation followed. This escalation raises concerns about a broader regional conflict, exacerbated by the Israel-Hamas war and changing political dynamics in the U.S.
