Israel has continued its airstrikes against Iran for the second day on Saturday. Iran has also retaliated. The world has been shaken when the tension between the two West Asian countries has increased. The officials of Israel, who are running "Operation Rising Lion" against Iran, have said that more than 150 targets have been attacked.
Operation Rising Lion : The military operation launched by Israel on Friday morning is considered to be the biggest attack in the last 30 years. When 200 Israeli ships attacked more than 100 targets, Iran's army chief, top commander and 6 nuclear scientists were also killed. The government has confirmed that 80 people have been killed in the attack so far. Israel has targeted nuclear facilities, missile bases, airbases and airports including Natanz, Esfahan, Arek, Fordoma.
Damages in Iran : Iranian army chief Mohammad Bagheri and Revolutionary Guards chief Hossein Salami have been killed, so Iran's morale has suffered an unprecedented blow. Similarly, Israel claims to have completely destroyed the structure of the Natanz nuclear power plant. Israeli spy agency Mossad is conducting drone strikes from inside Iran. Similarly, Israel has claimed that it has full control over Iran's western airspace.
Operation To Promise-Three : Since Friday evening, Iran has launched hundreds of drones and more than 150 ballistic missiles. Iran has claimed that the Israeli army targeted the headquarters of the IDF and caused serious damage there as well. While Israel has neutralized most of the attacks, some missiles have landed in Tel Aviv, damaging some structures. Four Israelis were killed and more than 60 injured in the Iranian attack.
'Sentence' continues : Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that "Tehran will burn" if Iran does not stop the attack. On the other hand, the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khomeini has claimed that "no force can stop Iran from collecting the price of its commanders." He has promoted the new commander to the rank of general and called on the people to support him in this war.
American role : There was a preparation for talks between the US and Iran on Sunday in Muscat, Oman, regarding Iran's nuclear program and the ongoing blockade on it. However, Iran has responded that there is no point in talks because of the terrible attack on it. US President Donald Trump claimed that the US had no role in the Israeli attack and warned that "Iran running away from negotiations would be suicidal and a historic mistake". Although the US has not yet directly participated in the attack, it is supporting the Israeli defense system.
IEA report : The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has given a report of serious damage to Iran's nuclear facilities due to the Israeli attack. However, the report stated that there were no signs of radiation leakage from the attack. The agency said risks remain as Iran continues to accelerate other nuclear facilities.
Attack on the world's largest gas processing plant : After the Israeli drone attack on the Abadan natural gas processing plant in southern Iran, there is a huge fire. Abadan is claimed to be the largest and oldest natural gas refinery in the world. It is analyzed that the damage to the center will not only weaken Iran economically, but will have an immediate negative impact on the international petroleum market.
Oil and the impact on the world market : The Israel-Iran war has increased the price of oil in the international market by 11 percent. Similarly, the airways of Iran, Iraq, Jordan and Israel are currently blocked, affecting international flights.
International response : The United Nations, European Union, G-7 and others have asked both countries to exercise restraint. Similarly, Saudi Arabia has criticized Israel for attacking international law and Iran's sovereignty. In a telephone conversation with US President Trump on Saturday, Russian President Vladimir Putin condemned the Israeli attack. Iran has also accused the US, UK and France of provoking Israel.
Gaza under lockdown : After Israel and Iran, who have been fighting a 'proxy war', have entered into a direct war, the humanitarian disaster in Gaza has been overshadowed. Israel has put Gaza under complete 'lock down'. Gaza residents, including children and women, are struggling for food due to the interruption of international aid. Israeli attacks on food distribution camps continue. Similarly, Israel has banned the return of Gazans.

The Israeli army says that most of the drones and missiles fired by Iran have been destroyed in the sky. At least three people were killed when some missiles fired by Iran landed in the capital Tel Aviv. According to the Israeli media, around 100 people were injured. The media reported that explosions were also heard in Jerusalem. Israel has closed gatherings, non-essential services and educational institutions throughout the country from Saturday 8:30 PM to Sunday 8:00 PM local time.
As the conflict between Israel and Iran escalates, Iraq has asked Tehran not to target the American base camp on its soil, citing a senior security official. Iraq's government is a close ally of Iran, but also a strategic partner of the US, which Iran considers a staunch enemy. There are about 2,500 American soldiers in Iraq.
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has asked UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres to take immediate action against the Israeli army. In a phone conversation, Araghchi argued that the Israeli attack was an attack on Iran's right to sovereignty and territorial integrity. The United Nations Security Council and the United Nations as a whole have emphasized that they must fulfill their responsibilities for international peace and security.
He said that immediate concrete steps should be taken to make Israel responsible for the attack on Iran. Secretary General Guterres has said that the United Nations will use its full capacity to stop the ongoing tension in West Asia and restore peace and stability.
China's permanent representative to the United Nations, Fu Kong, has condemned Israel's actions that violate Iran's sovereignty, security and territorial integrity. Stating that China is against the expansion of tension and conflict, he said that he is worried about the results of the Israeli operation. In an emergency meeting of the Security Council, he called on Israel to stop all military misadventures and avoid further tensions, noting that escalation of conflict is not in anyone's interest. He also said that Iran's right to peaceful use of nuclear energy should be fully respected.
