Israel’s Retaliation: Strikes on Iran’s Defense Ministry
Just hours before the Tel Aviv missile attack, Israel launched a massive counter-offensive, targeting Iran’s Defense Ministry headquarters in Tehran. According to Israeli officials, more than 150 targets were hit across Tehran and Bushehr, including:
- Oil depots
- Gas refineries
- Military command centers
- Suspected nuclear facilities
Israel also claimed to have eliminated 9 nuclear scientists and over 20 top Iranian commanders during the attack. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant posted on social media, “Tehran is burning,” alongside footage of thick smoke clouds rising from the city.
Massive Casualties on Both Sides
The Iran Israel war has resulted in staggering human loss within just two days:
In Iran:
- 138+ Iranians killed, including civilians and military personnel
- 9 nuclear scientists and 20+ commanders confirmed dead
- 350+ injured in multiple regions
- 215 total deaths, according to Iranian Human Rights group HRNAA

Trump, Netanyahu, and Global Response
World leaders have stepped in, reacting strongly to the escalating Iran Israel war.
Trump Warns Iran
U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran in a press briefing:
“If Iran attacks the U.S. in any way, our response will be unlike anything seen before.”
He further clarified that America had no role in Israel’s strikes on Iran.
Netanyahu Issues Fiery Statement
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu declared:
“Soon, you will see our fighter jets over Tehran. We will target every base of Ayatollah Khamenei’s regime.”
UK and Russia Weigh In
British Foreign Minister David Lammy urged Iran to de-escalate, while Russian President Putin spoke to Trump about the crisis. Trump mentioned their call on social media, stating:
“Putin and I spoke at length about Iran. This war must end.”
150+ Missiles Fired by Iran: Airports, Cities on Alert
Iran fired more than 150 ballistic missiles in response to Israel’s airstrikes. Israeli air defense systems intercepted many, but some still hit sensitive areas:
- Ben Gurion Airport
- Eastern Tel Aviv districts
- Israel-Egypt border zone
- Eilat and Jordan Valley region
The sudden barrage triggered air raid sirens across Israeli cities, pushing citizens into underground shelters for hours.
Will This War Last Weeks?
According to intelligence reports by CNN and Israeli officials, this is not just a one-day skirmish. U.S. sources indicate that the White House has approved extended operations, giving Israel at least a week’s window for military action.
Experts warn that this conflict could stretch over several weeks, with broader implications for global oil prices, regional security, and refugee crises.
Indian Citizens Caught in the Crossfire
India is also on high alert. AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi has raised concerns for Indian nationals:
- 1,595 Indian students stranded in Iran
- 140 medical students at Tehran University
- 183 Indian pilgrims in Iraq also at risk
He appealed to India’s External Affairs Ministry and the Telangana state government to begin evacuation operations immediately.
Is Peace Still Possible?
Despite the fiery rhetoric, a few global voices continue to push for peace. The UK and Russia have expressed deep concern about civilian casualties, urging both sides to stop attacks and restart diplomatic dialogue.
Yet, with missiles still flying and both countries refusing to back down, the road to de-escalation looks long and uncertain.
ByNews-View: When Missiles Silence Humanity
This war isn’t just between two nations; it’s a crisis threatening global peace, regional stability, and innocent lives. While military might is on full display, it is diplomacy that must win. The world has seen enough fire and fury — what it now needs is dialogue, not destruction. Every missile launched is a step away from peace. It’s time for both Iran and Israel to recognize the cost of war isn’t measured in victories, but in lives lost forever.
