Iran Launches 80 Projectiles at Israel, G7 Summit Overshadowed by Escalating Conflict

Iran-Israel Conflict Escalates: 80 Projectiles Fired, Casualties Reported Tensions between Iran and Israel have dramatically escalated following a barrage of 80 projectiles launched from Iran into Israel, resulting in 10 fatalities and over 200 injuries. Israel responded swiftly with airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear and energy infrastructure. The attack comes amid heightened regional tensions and follows recent Israeli airstrikes on Iranian facilities. "This is a blatant act of aggression," stated an Israeli government official, speaking on the condition of anonymity. "We will not tolerate such attacks and will respond decisively." Adding to the complexity of the situation, Yemen's Houthi rebels, known for their close ties to Iran, have claimed responsibility for the missile attacks. This claim further complicates the situation and raises questions about the level of Iranian involvement. In response to the escalating violence, Iran has issued a stark warning, threatening to escalate the conflict if the US, UK, or France attempt to intercept any further projectiles. This threat underscores the high stakes of the current crisis and the potential for wider conflict. The G7 summit in Canada is currently underway, but the Iran-Israel conflict has largely overshadowed other pressing global issues. The international community is closely monitoring the situation and urging all parties to exercise restraint and engage in de-escalation efforts.
