Iran Accuses Israel of Starting War, Vows Retaliation Amidst Rising Tensions

Tensions escalate sharply between Iran and Israel after a series of attacks. Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has accused Israel of starting a war, warning of a strong response. "The Zionist regime will not remain unscathed," Khamenei stated, according to official reports. This follows Iranian missile strikes in retaliation for Israeli attacks that reportedly hit over 150 targets. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded that Israel will continue to strike "every site and every target" in Iran. The conflict has resulted in casualties, with reports of three deaths in Israel and 60 in Tehran. Planned nuclear talks between Iran and the US have been called off. The situation remains volatile, and the international community is closely monitoring the developments.
