Israel and Iran escalated their tit-for-tat strikes on June 14–15, 2025. In its latest offensive, Israel expanded its air campaign, targeting Iranian energy sites and the Defense Ministry headquarters in Tehran, as well as alleged nuclear‑program facilities. Tehran responded with a deadly missile barrage that killed civilians in central Israel, including sisters aged 80 and 69 and a 10‑year‑old boy, plus four more in the Galilee region. The strikes disrupted US‑Iran nuclear negotiations and drew urgent global pleas to de‑escalate. Amid mounting civilian tolls, both nations now face the crucial choice between deeper escalation or diplomatic restraint. (PC: Reuters & News18)
