Israel carried out targeted airstrikes on Tehran’s military and strategic sites while regional diplomats—including representatives from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt—gathered in Islamabad to negotiate an end to the escalating month-long conflict with Iran. The strikes came amid Iran’s ongoing missile and drone retaliation across the Middle East, including attacks on US bases, Gulf infrastructure, and Israel. Diplomats emphasized urgent de-escalation, but rising tensions and military buildups risked further confrontation. Iran warned of strong responses if attacks continue, while Yemen’s Houthis also engaged in missile strikes, broadening regional instability. (PC: NYT)
