Israel-Iran War Escalates: Global Fallout, Nuclear Fears, and Calls for Restraint

Israel has launched a massive bombing campaign against Iran, targeting nuclear facilities, missile factories, and top military leaders.

The operation, called 'Rising Lion,' killed senior Iranian commanders and nuclear scientists, including the head of the Revolutionary

Guard.

Israel claims the strikes are to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, but the attacks have also caused

civilian casualties and radioactive contamination at the Natanz site.

Iran responded with a barrage of missiles that overwhelmed Israel’s Iron Dome defenses, signaling the start of a

dangerous new phase in the conflict.

The world is reacting with alarm.

The UN Security Council held an emergency session, with the UN nuclear watchdog warning that attacks on nuclear

sites risk 'grave consequences for the region and beyond.' IAEA chief Rafael Grossi confirmed radioactive contamination inside Natanz,

though not outside.

Russia, Pakistan, and Qatar condemned Israel’s actions as violations of international law, while the US stressed that Iran

must not acquire nuclear weapons.

Many leaders are urging restraint and a return to diplomacy, warning that further escalation could destabilize the entire

Middle East and impact global security.

The conflict is already shaking the world economy.

Oil prices have surged as markets fear disruptions to Middle East supplies, potentially boosting Russia’s war economy and

complicating the situation in Ukraine.

Experts warn that a wider war could send prices even higher and shift global attention away from Ukraine.

Meanwhile, regional powers like Pakistan and Qatar are calling for urgent diplomatic solutions, and Kashmiri leaders are criticizing

the silence of global powers, warning of double standards and the risk of further chaos.

With both sides vowing to continue, the world faces huge uncertainty.

Will Israel push for regime change in Iran, or focus only on nuclear sites?

Can Iran retaliate further, and will other countries get drawn in?

As one expert put it, 'The full impact of Israel’s attack on Iran will take years to unfold.'

For now, the international community is urging maximum restraint, dialogue, and a return to negotiations to prevent a

wider catastrophe.

As the situation develops, stay tuned for more updates on this critical story.
