On June 20, 2025, Iran escalated its retaliatory strikes by firing ballistic missiles equipped with cluster munitions—its first use in this conflict—over central Israel, releasing dozens of submunitions, one striking a home in Azor (no casualties reported) . The volley followed Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear and military facilities, including reactors at Arak . Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed a harsh response, asserting Israel remains “ahead of schedule” in its campaign . With no de‑escalation in sight, international diplomacy intensifies even as civilian safety is increasingly jeopardized. (PC: Reuters)
