The armed forces of Israel and the United States have launched a powerful strike on Iranian territory, destroying over two thousand military facilities. In response, Lebanon's Hezbollah has broken a year-long ceasefire, firing its first missiles towards northern Israel. The conflict is rapidly escalating across the region, involving massive bombardments of Beirut's suburbs and attacks on Iran's state television in Tehran, while Donald Trump announces a multi-week military campaign.

Massive Scale of Attacks

US and Israeli forces struck over 2000 military targets in Iran, paralyzing the regime's defense and destroying the communication network.

Lebanese Front of Aggression

Hezbollah fired its first rockets at Israel since 2024, triggering massive airstrikes on Beirut and a declaration of war across all of Lebanon.

High Human Casualties

Iran confirms the death of 560 troops and 180 female students in a bombed school. Three US soldiers were also killed.

The latest phase of the Middle East conflict has taken the form of a direct clash between major powers. According to frontline reports, combined Israeli and US forces have attacked key Iranian infrastructure, including missile cities hidden in the mountains. Donald Trump announced that the operation will last at least four weeks, constituting retaliation for the death of American soldiers. In Tehran itself, the situation is dramatic; the state television headquarters was bombed, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps admits to losing hundreds of troops. Additionally, an attack on one of the schools killed 180 female students, sparking a wave of outrage and protests in the region. Hostile relations between Israel and Iran have persisted since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, but the current escalation is the most serious direct confrontation between the two states in history, going beyond traditional proxy wars. The situation in Lebanon became critical after Hezbollah decided to actively join the fight. For the first time since 2024, the organization launched rockets at Israeli territories, which met with an immediate and brutal retaliation from the Israeli air force. The bombardments covered "all of Lebanon," with particular focus on the southern districts of Beirut. Simultaneously, Israel employed advanced electronic warfare techniques, causing a complete digital blackout on Iranian territory, which paralyzed the regime's defense and communication in the first phase of the strike. 2000 — military targets in Iran were attacked by US and Israeli forces International reactions indicate a deep rift in existing alliances. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, fearing for their own security after Iranian attacks on targets in the Gulf, have signaled readiness to support retaliatory actions. Meanwhile, the international community is grappling with a wave of disinformation and manipulated recordings circulating on social media. The situation remains extremely dynamic, and Benjamin Netanyahu's announcement of "increasing the intensity" of airstrikes suggests the region is on the brink of a full-scale war that could destabilize global markets and security for years to come.„Esto solo irá en aumento.” (This will only increase.) — Benjamin Netanyahu
