Tensions between Iran and Israel flared overnight as Iranian strikes targeted Israeli positions, resulting in multiple casualties. According to initial reports, at least 10 people were killed in the attacks, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between the two nations.

The Iranian offensive, launched between Saturday and Sunday, struck undisclosed locations in Israel, though details remain scarce. Israeli emergency services confirmed the casualties and are assessing the extent of the damage.

In retaliation, Israeli airstrikes hit two fuel depots in Iran, setting them ablaze. The strikes appear to be a direct response to Tehran’s overnight aggression, further raising fears of a wider regional confrontation.

Amid the rising violence, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock urged Middle Eastern leaders to engage in dialogue with Iran to de-escalate the situation. "The cycle of retaliation must end," she stated, emphasizing the need for diplomatic efforts to prevent further bloodshed.

The international community has expressed growing concern over the hostilities, with calls for restraint from both sides. The United Nations is expected to convene an emergency session to address the crisis.
