The escalation of the conflict between Iran and Israel has reached a new peak after Iran launched a massive missile attack on Israeli territory, including an attempt to hit strategic sites. The attacks resulted in multiple explosions in Tel Aviv and its suburbs, as well as near the nuclear center in Dimona. The incident has already led to serious international consequences and prompted a number of analysts to declare the possibility of World War III.
The situation in the Middle East has been rapidly deteriorating in recent days. The Iranian military said it had launched hundreds of ballistic missiles aimed at key Israeli targets, in response to the Israeli Air Force's intensifying strikes against targets in Syria and Lebanon where the Tehran-backed Hezbollah group is active. According to local sources, Israeli missile defenses intercepted a significant number of the missiles, but some of them hit their targets, causing destruction and casualties among civilians.
Experts note that Iran's attack on Israel is not only a new stage in the long-standing confrontation between the two countries, but also creates real preconditions for a larger-scale conflict that could involve the world's leading powers. Some analysts have already begun to draw parallels with the start of World War III, pointing out that the actions of Iran and Israel could serve as a catalyst for a global confrontation, especially given that the United States and its NATO allies are participating in the conflict on Israel's side.
