Israel Braces For Iran's Retaliation, as Tehran Says " Declaration of War"

Iran has launched over 100 drones toward Israel, marking the beginning of its retaliation for earlier Israeli strikes on Iranian military and nuclear sites. The Israeli military confirmed it had begun intercepting the drones, and hospitals across Israel moved to emergency mode in anticipation of further escalation. The United States evacuated embassy staff from multiple countries in the region and advised sheltering in place. Iran’s move comes after warnings that Israel would face a “heavy price” for its actions. Jordan and Iraq closed their airspace, and major airlines cancelled flights. Iran has also requested an emergency UN meeting, stating it has the right to respond. The situation remains tense, with fears of wider regional conflict if the violence continues
