New Delhi: Tensions in the Middle East have escalated dramatically following a major strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. In a sharp and immediate retaliation, Iran has launched a barrage of missile attacks on Israel, marking one of the most intense phases of conflict between the two nations in recent years.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued his first statement since the nuclear site attack, declaring the “Zionist enemy” committed a grave crime. In a post on social media platform X, Khamenei said, ” The punishment continues. The Zionist enemy has made a big mistake, committed a big crime; it must be punished and it is being punished; it is being punished right now.”
However, notably, he refrained from mentioning the United States directly, even as speculation rises over Iran’s potential plans to target American interests in the region.
