Iran-Israel Conflict Escalates With Heavy Casualties

The Iran-Israel conflict has escalated into its seventh day, resulting in significant casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure, with at least 657 killed and over 2,000 injured in Iran, and 24 deaths and over 2,300 injuries in Israel. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard released footage of new missile attacks on Israeli military sites, while Israeli airstrikes have struck multiple Iranian provinces. The economic impact on Israel is severe, with daily costs from missile defense and infrastructure damage reaching hundreds of millions of dollars. Political rhetoric within Israel has intensified, with far-right leaders calling for harsher measures against Palestinians and Iran. The regional arms race is further inflamed by India's successful missile tests and ongoing hypersonic weapons development, as demonstrated in recent conflicts with Pakistan. The situation remains highly volatile, with global powers monitoring closely amid concerns of further escalation.
