The Israel-Iran war has turned into one of the most explosive conflicts in the Middle East in recent history, with at least 230 dead in Iran and fears of a regional war. Israeli jets pounded Tehran, Isfahan, and Ahvaz overnight, striking military and nuclear targets, as Iran promised revenge and ruled out peace talks.

While under mounting pressure, with the US and G7 nations all appealing for a truce, Tehran has rejected overtures for a ceasefire, arguing that its response to Israeli aggression is not finished. The war doesn't appear to be over.

Israel Expands Offensive, Hits Nuclear and Oil Sites

In a major escalation, Israel struck more than 80 sites across Iran, hitting nuclear facilities and oil depots. Two fuel depots in Tehran were set on fire, and airstrikes demolished government buildings and defense ministry locations.

Israel's military, which rarely comments on such reports from foreign media, also said it was behind those attacks in Ahvaz, in Iran's oil-rich Khuzestan province. In response, the Revolutionary Guards of Iran attacked Israeli air refueling bases, and rebels called the Houthis in Yemen fired missiles at Israel.

Top Iranian Intelligence Chief Killed in Israeli Strike

Iran's Revolutionary Guard intelligence unit head, Mohammad Kazemi, was killed by an Israeli air strike along with his deputy, Iran's Tasnim news agency has confirmed. It has been one of the most significant blows to Iran's leadership in years. The death adds additional Stress to the odds of de-escalation in the current Israel-Iran war.

India, G7, and Global Community Respond to Crisis

India expressed concern about the more than 1,500 Indian students stranded in Iran, most of them from Jammu and Kashmir. The Indian mission in Tehran is helping them relocate to safer places. At the same time, the votes in Canada are likely to focus on containing nuclear escalation and steering both countries toward talks on their dispute.

Even President Donald Trump weighed in, saying, "It's time for a deal... but maybe they need to fight it out first." His comments come as diplomacy struggles and rocket exchanges persist.
