Israel-Iran War: Hospital Bombed, Hundreds Wounded, and a Top Leader's Life Threatened!
by Amanda Ireland in PoliticsAn Iranian missile attack on Israel resulted in injuries and significant damage to a major hospital in southern Israel and other locations. At least 240 people were wounded, four seriously, according to Israel's Health Ministry. Israel responded with strikes targeting Iran's Arak heavy water reactor. The Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz, issued a statement that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei "absolutely should not continue to exist." Iran has called on the UN Security Council to condemn Israel's actions. International efforts for diplomacy are underway, with meetings planned between Iran and European counterparts. Canada, Japan, China, Indonesia, and Oman are assisting their citizens in evacuating from both Iran and Israel. The conflict has caused significant casualties on both sides, and multiple countries have expressed concerns and called for de-escalation. A Houthi leader praised Iran's response, and Iraqi militias threatened to attack U.S. citizens if Khamenei is targeted. The Israeli military claims to have destroyed a significant number of Iran’s ballistic missile launchers. There are also reports of casualties in Gaza, and concerns about the safety of Russian personnel at a nuclear power plant in Iran. The situation remains highly volatile, with ongoing military actions and international diplomatic efforts.
