Global Tensions Rise: Israel Strikes Iran, World Reacts

Israel has carried out a series of airstrikes on Iran, targeting nuclear facilities and top military commanders.

The operation, called 'Rising Lion,' killed several senior Iranian officials, including the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard

Corps, and nuclear scientists.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu called it a 'targeted military operation to roll back the Iranian threat,' vowing to

continue until the threat is removed.

Iran’s leadership has condemned the attack as a 'declaration of war' and promised severe retaliation, while civilians, including

children, are reported among the casualties.

The world is on edge as leaders react to the strikes.

The US quickly distanced itself, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio stating, 'We are not involved.' Many countries,

including Russia, China, and EU members, have called for restraint and a return to diplomacy.

Pakistan, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia condemned Israel’s actions as violations of international law, while the UN urged both

sides to avoid further escalation.

Meanwhile, some leaders, like those in Kashmir, criticized the 'double standards' of global powers for their silence or

selective outrage.

The strikes have heightened fears of a broader regional war, with Israel on high alert for Iranian retaliation.

Oil prices have spiked, and global markets are jittery.

Egypt warned that threats to Red Sea security could impact the global economy, while experts say civilians will

suffer most if the conflict spreads.

In India, the Air India plane crash tragedy added to the global sense of crisis, drawing condolences from

leaders worldwide.

Calls for peace, dialogue, and protection of civilians are growing louder as the world watches for what comes

next.

As tensions rise, debates over the future of global diplomacy intensify.

Some call for a return to 'Yalta-style' power deals, but China and others reject dividing the world into

spheres of influence, urging instead for inclusive, multipolar cooperation.

International conferences and grassroots peace movements are pushing for dialogue, sustainable development, and protection of migrants and civilians.

The message is clear: the world faces a choice between escalating power struggles and building bridges for peace.
