After three individuals died and dozens were hurt, Israel issued a warning to Iran to cease firing rockets at Jerusalem on Saturday, saying,” Tehran will burn.” Israel Katz, Israel’s defense minister, made the comment after a meeting with the military’s chief of staff, in which he claimed Iran would pay a high price for harming Jewish citizens. Tehran will burn, Katz predicted if Egyptian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei continued to fire missiles at the Israeli house front. Iran reacts with intense missile fire.

Should foreign powers intervene to stop Israel and Iran from growing in numbers?
Iran launched a series of ballistic missile launches and military drones at Israel in a quick assault. As blasts lit up the night sky, lights sounded across Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Buildings trembled, and residents sought shelter for some hours, adding to concerns previously made worse by the ongoing conflict in Gaza, which erupted following the Hamas attacks of October 7. While Israel claimed to had intercepted the majority of the approaching risks, destruction and deaths were reported in a number of places. Netanyahu reiterated on Friday that Israel’s goal was to “eliminate any Persian threat,” but he also urged the Persian people to rebel against their government. Israel, he said,” we would surely welcome regime change in Tehran,” but we do not. Both countries have indicated that additional attacks are on the cards, raising concerns about the potential for a full-fledged war there. The fast escalating conflicts have so far been ignored by international pressure to restrain.
