Israel launched retaliatory strikes on Iranian targets in Tehran, including Evin Prison and Revolutionary Guards headquarters, following Iran's missile and drone attacks on Israel. These attacks came after the US struck Iranian nuclear facilities. The Israeli military also targeted roads near Fordo enrichment facility. International concerns are rising about the escalating conflict and potential for wider regional war, particularly with threats of the Strait of Hormuz closure. Calls for de-escalation and diplomatic solutions are emerging from the EU and Germany, while Iran and the US remain locked in a tense standoff.
