Israel launched a major air strike on Iran, targeting military and nuclear sites, killing top military officials. The attack, described as 'excellent' by former President Trump, prompted immediate Iranian retaliation with missile strikes on Israel. Explosions rocked Tehran, and both sides vowed further action. The escalation has raised fears of a wider conflict, with the US reportedly distancing itself while Trump urges Iran to negotiate. Regional airspace closures and international condemnation followed the unprecedented attacks.
