The eleventh day of the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran saw a dangerous surge in military operations, deepening fears of a prolonged regional war. Israeli forces expanded their campaign by targeting six Iranian airports across central, eastern, and western regions, claiming the destruction of 15 aircraft, including combat helicopters, using unmanned drones.
In a statement laced with urgency, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, currently under indictment by the International Criminal Court, stated that Tel Aviv does not intend to prolong the war beyond what is "necessary." However, ground reports indicate a widening battlefield, with Iran vowing retaliation and refusing to scale down its nuclear ambitions.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump weighed in, boasting that American strikes caused “massive destruction” at Iranian nuclear facilities. These remarks have fueled outrage in Tehran, where Iranian officials are placing full blame on the U.S. and Israel for provoking a new phase of confrontation.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmail Baghaei, warned that Washington must be prepared to face the consequences of its involvement, stating that "no one knows what the future holds, but responsibility lies squarely with America and the Zionist regime."
Meanwhile, Iran confirmed the deaths of 10 people in an Israeli airstrike on two military centers in Yazd province. In addition, Iranian officials reported the downing of an Israeli Hermes drone over the skies of Khorramabad — the fourth such incident since the conflict began.
As tensions spiral, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister reaffirmed the country’s intention to continue enriching uranium. “No one can dictate what Iran should or should not do, as long as we act within our legal rights,” he said. He stressed that under constant attack, the pursuit of dialogue has become meaningless.
Russia, meanwhile, has stepped in as a key diplomatic player. During a high-stakes visit to Moscow, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi declared a joint commitment between Iran and Russia to coordinate their positions as the conflict escalates. Tehran views Moscow as a strategic ally, especially in times of mounting international pressure.
Iran’s military leadership issued a bold warning, promising a "decisive response" to any further aggression. General Amir Hatami stated, “We are fighting for victory, and we will defend our sovereignty with full force.”
In the wake of these developments, the world watches anxiously. Civilians in both nations brace for more violence, while diplomats struggle to find an off-ramp before the conflict turns into a full-scale war with global implications.
