Early Friday, Israel launched air strikes against Iran, targeting its nuclear program and military leaders, escalating regional tensions. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu claimed these actions were necessary for the nation's survival, especially given Iran's advancing nuclear efforts. Following the strikes, Iran retaliated, prompting increased military readiness in neighboring countries, including Jordan, which intercepted incoming threats. The situation triggered widespread airspace closures, affecting civilian flights. Oil prices spiked due to the instability, coinciding with ongoing international negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear activities, emphasizing the fragility of diplomatic efforts in the region.
“In an address to the nation, Netanyahu justified the attacks as a fight for the country's survival, marking a pivotal moment in regional military tensions.”
“Following Israel's initial attacks, the country said its air force conducted 'a large-scale strike' against Iranian air defenses, destroying dozens of radars and missile launchers.”}],
