Middle East Tensions Escalate as Iran Warns of Further Attacks on Israel

In a stark escalation of rhetoric, a senior Iranian military commander has warned that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard is prepared for another missile strike against Israel, with “multiplied intensity.” General Mohammad Bagheri, Iran’s armed forces joint chief of staff, threatened further action, citing retaliation for Israel’s previous missile strike on Iranian territory. He stated that Iran would target all infrastructure if provoked again.

Meanwhile, tensions are also rising in Lebanon, with explosions reported in Beirut. Israel confirmed strikes on Hezbollah targets, and evacuations in southern Beirut are ongoing. Reports suggest that Israel is planning a “significant retaliation,” potentially targeting Iranian oil facilities, adding to the fears of a broader conflict in the region.

With both sides hinting at further aggressive actions, the Middle East remains on the edge, with concerns of a wider conflict escalating.
