The Middle East is on fire: A dangerous escalation between Iran and Israel threatens the stability of the region.

The International Atomic Energy Agency announced that Iranian authorities confirmed to them that the Bushehr nuclear reactor was not targeted during the recent Israeli attack, and no increase in radiation levels was recorded at the Natanz nuclear site. Meanwhile, the Iranian Tasnim Agency denied the news of the martyrdom of the deputy commander of the Revolutionary Guard and the commander of the Guard's Air Force. In a swift response, the Iranian Army Commander confirmed that the armed forces have been ordered to carry out severe punishment against the aggressors, emphasizing that Israel has not yet realized the extent of the Iranian people's power. The new Chief of Staff of the Iranian Army announced that Supreme Leader "Ali Khamenei" has issued directives to avenge against the Zionist entity. The skies witnessed intense flights of Iranian drones, documenting scenes of Iranian drones passing from Thi Qar Province in Iraq towards the occupied territories, as part of the first phase of "Operation Martyr Soleimani 3," which included launching around 800 drones and cruise missiles towards Israel. On the international front, the Jordanian army announced raising its readiness to confront any potential threats to the country's security, while Lebanese President Michel Aoun expressed his condolences to Iran for the victims of the Israeli attacks, describing the assaults as targeting stability efforts in the region. The Iranian government also declared that seeking revenge to defend its homeland is a legitimate right, affirming that the response to the Israeli attack will be firm, emphasizing that Iran did not initiate the war but will end it. In contrast, Ben Gurion Airport was reported to be completely evacuated amid extreme alert in Israel, and American air bases in Qatar witnessed intensified military aircraft activities amidst escalating tensions. Flight movements in the entire Middle East region have come to a halt, amid extreme alert and escalating tensions between the two sides.
