Tensions Escalate as Iran and Israel Exchange Missile Strikes

The U.S. and its allies face pressure to respond decisively to Iran's aggression and nuclear ambitions.

Iran launched nearly 200 ballistic missiles at Israel on October 1, following the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah by Israeli forces.
Israel, with significant support from the U.S. Air Force, intercepted most of the missiles, minimizing casualties and damage.
The conflict highlights the ideological divide between Iran's anti-Zionist, anti-American regime and the U.S.-backed Israeli state.
There are calls for the U.S. to adopt a more proactive stance, including potential military action and supporting regime change in Iran.
Iran's nuclear capabilities remain a critical concern, with U.S. intelligence suggesting Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in months.
