  • This marks the first time Israel has publicly claimed responsibility for an attack on Iranian soil, breaking a long-standing taboo.
  • The international community, including the US, UK, and European nations, has urged restraint to prevent further escalation.
  • Iran has vowed to defend itself against what it calls a violation of its sovereignty, while Hezbollah has launched retaliatory strikes on Israel.
  • The conflict has roots in long-standing tensions, including Iran's support for groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, and Israel's concerns over Iran's nuclear ambitions.
