Israel-Iran Conflict Escalates With New Warfare Tactics

The conflict between Israel and Iran has sharply escalated, with both sides carrying out extensive airstrikes and missile attacks, resulting in significant civilian casualties and widespread infrastructure damage. Iran launched multiple waves of drones and ballistic missiles at Israel, with some bypassing air defenses amid claims of cyberattacks disrupting Israeli warning systems. Israel responded by striking Iranian cities, nuclear facilities, and media outlets, while claiming air superiority over parts of Iran including Tehran. The violence has caused panic among civilians and foreign nationals, including Indian students in Tehran seeking evacuation. The United States has increased its military presence in the region but remains uninvolved in direct combat, while calling for renewed nuclear talks, which Iran may consider if hostilities cease. The use of drones and hypersonic missiles in this conflict has raised new concerns about modern warfare's challenges for global security.
