New tensions have arisen in the Middle East after the US carried out air strikes on three important nuclear facilities in Iran. In response to the attack, Iran has directly responded by launching multiple missiles targeting Israel. This incident is of extreme concern in the international arena, especially when there is a threat of direct military conflict between the superpowers.

It is reported that the United States simultaneously struck Iran's Natanz, Fordo and Isfahan nuclear facilities late last night. These facilities are known as the main centers of Iran's nuclear program. According to the US Department of Defense, this was a "preventive measure", aimed at preventing the expansion of Iran's nuclear capabilities. On the other hand, Tehran has called the attack a gross violation of its sovereignty and announced retaliation.

Within hours of the attack, Iran fired missiles directly into Israeli territory for the first time. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement, “The missiles launched from Iran a short time ago were aimed at various areas of Israel. Our defenses are active and are trying to repel the threat.” At the same time, the IDF urged the country’s population to evacuate to safe shelters and remain there until further notice.

Analysts believe that this counterattack is not just an immediate response, but could be the beginning of a larger military conflict. Iran claims that it has responded strategically, but if the aggression continues, a full-scale resistance will be mounted. On the other hand, Israel has said that it is ready to defend itself and will not hesitate to respond forcefully in any situation.

Meanwhile, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on both sides to refrain from violence and to immediately engage in talks. Several countries, including China, Russia, the European Union and India, have expressed deep concern about the incident and called for a diplomatic solution. Several embassies have issued warnings to foreign nationals in the Middle East.

In this situation, Israel's airports and rail connections have been partially suspended, and ordinary people in Iran have been confined to their homes in fear. The incident has begun to have an impact on the international oil market - oil prices have increased by about 6 percent in one day, which is also seen as a threat to the global economy.

Experts say that the incident is behind the long-standing hostility and distrust. This could be a repeat of the 2003 Iraq War or the 2019 Iran-Israel cyber war. However, this time the situation is more complicated, because superpowers are directly confronting each other, the consequences of which could be dire.

All in all, the Middle East is now facing an explosive situation. The world is waiting anxiously - where this conflict will end. The question on everyone's lips now is whether the war bell has really sounded, or whether international diplomacy will ultimately bring the situation under control.
