The recent conflict in the Middle East began with a direct drone attack from Iran on Israel. Israel responded by shooting down all the drones before they could reach its territory, creating tension between the two countries. After six days of deliberation, Israel decided to retaliate by firing rockets at an area in Iran. There was no official confirmation of the attack from either side at first.
However, American sources later confirmed that the USA was not involved in the attack. Despite this, there were criticisms within Israel regarding how the situation was handled. Various global entities made efforts to prevent further escalation of conflict between Israel and Iran. The G7 and European Commission announced new sanctions on Iran while emphasizing the need for calm in Gaza.
Analysts believe that the recent attacks do not point to a major conflict and that both Israel and Iran have the opportunity to de-escalate the situation. Messages have been sent urging both sides to avoid further conflict as it is not in anyone’s best interest. Now, the focus is on calming tensions and finding a resolution that maintains the security of all parties involved.
