UN Secretary-General António Guterres has urged Israel and Iran to de-escalate. "Israeli bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities. Iranian missile attacks on Tel Aviv. Enough escalation," wrote Guterres on Platform X. Peace and diplomacy must prevail. However, it does not look like that at the moment. According to Israel's military, Iran also fired dozens of rockets at Israel during the night. At the same time, explosions were also reported from the Iranian capital Tehran.
"We are only at the beginning of an event that will probably be very different from previous direct clashes between Israel and Iran," Danny Citrinowicz, senior Iran researcher at Israel's Institute for National Security Studies, told the Wall Street Journal. The consequences of the current conflict could be far-reaching and significant for the future of Iran and the stability of the entire region, he was quoted as saying.
