The ongoing regional escalation between Israel and Iran intensified on Tuesday as both countries launched fresh strikes, now marking the fifth consecutive day of hostilities. Global concerns are growing that the conflict could drag other nations into a broader Middle East war.
Israeli Strikes Hit Deep Inside Iran
Israel’s military confirmed a wave of attacks targeting missile and drone facilities in western Iran. These strikes, described as “extensive,” hit key military sites, including several installations involved in Iran’s missile program.
Iranian state media reported loud explosions in Tabriz, a strategic northwestern city that houses an air force base. Israel has targeted this area repeatedly since launching its first surprise assault on Friday.
In Kashan, located in central Iran, three civilians were killed and four injured following Israeli missile strikes. Iran’s Nour News stated that the attack damaged infrastructure and left multiple casualties.

Civilian Areas Under Fire
A residential building in Tehran was hit, prompting emergency teams to rescue three people from the debris. The strike has added to growing domestic unrest and fears among Iranian civilians of further escalation.
Iran Responds with Missile Barrage
Iran retaliated with another round of missile strikes targeting Israeli cities. Explosions and rising smoke were reported in Herzliya, near Tel Aviv. Israeli defense systems intercepted some incoming missiles, though details about damage and casualties remain limited.
International Tensions Rise
US President Donald Trump called for the immediate evacuation of Tehran, further escalating tensions. Analysts warn that direct US involvement could ignite a much larger conflict across the Middle East.
Meanwhile, international agencies like the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) continue to warn that the ongoing conflict poses grave threats to nuclear facilities and diplomacy in the region.
With both sides showing no signs of backing down, fears of a broader regional war continue to grow. The situation remains volatile, with each day bringing new risks and global uncertainty.
