Tensions in the Middle East have dramatically escalated after Iran launched a second wave of missile and drone attacks on Israel early Saturday, following Israel's massive air assault dubbed Operation "Rising Lion." The Israeli offensive, reportedly one of the largest in its history, targeted deep Iranian territory, including nuclear sites and missile facilities, killing top military officials and scientists.

In response, Iran initiated "Honest Promise 3," firing ballistic missiles toward Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Explosions rocked major cities as air raid sirens blared and residents scrambled for shelter. Israeli authorities reported missile strikes near homes in central Israel, injuring at least 10 civilians.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed ongoing retaliation, stating, “They initiated the conflict; we will not let them escape the consequences.” As both sides brace for further escalation, the region faces one of its most volatile moments in years.
