A War of Drones and Fire! Israel-Iran Conflict Bleeds Into Day 7, Death Toll Rises to 639

International News: The conflict between Israel and Iran has crossed a critical threshold as both nations continue to exchange fierce missile and drone attacks. Iranian authorities confirmed that 639 civilians and military personnel have been killed so far, with hundreds more injured. Israeli airstrikes have reportedly targeted major Iranian cities including Isfahan and Shiraz, sparking large-scale evacuations.

Ayatollah Khamenei’s Defiant Stand

In a live televised address, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared that the country will remain united in the face of foreign aggression. "We will not bow down to external pressure. Iran will emerge stronger," he said. His speech was met with massive rallies in Tehran, showing signs of public support despite the ongoing devastation.

Israel Responds with Full-Scale Retaliation

Israel's Defense Forces (IDF) have labeled Iran’s missile barrage as "an open act of war." In response, Israel has expanded its military operations to include deep strikes into Iranian airspace. The Iron Dome continues to intercept incoming threats, yet some missiles have reportedly breached Israeli defenses, hitting Tel Aviv’s outskirts.

International Community on Edge

Global powers including the United States, Russia, and the United Nations have called for an immediate ceasefire. However, diplomatic channels remain blocked as both countries refuse to back down. The UN Security Council is expected to hold an emergency session within 48 hours. As war intensifies, a humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding in both nations. Hospitals in Tehran and Jerusalem are overwhelmed. Thousands have taken refuge in underground shelters. Aid agencies have raised alarm over shortages of medical supplies and food in affected regions.

Cyber Warfare and Propaganda Battles

Alongside physical warfare, cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns are being waged on both sides. Iran's state media has accused Israel of targeting communication systems, while Tel Aviv alleges Iranian hackers have disrupted transportation networks. The possibility of the conflict dragging in other Middle Eastern countries has become a major concern. Hezbollah and other Iranian allies have reportedly mobilized in border regions. Analysts fear that if the conflict widens, it could destabilize the entire region.
