Israel has conducted airstrikes against Iran for a second consecutive day, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declaring that the campaign will intensify.

The strikes have reportedly targeted Iran’s military leadership and, for the first time, its oil and gas infrastructure, causing significant damage.

Iranian state media has reported a blaze at the South Pars gas field, and local officials have indicated some production has been suspended due to these attacks.

Following a day of surprise airstrikes that reportedly eliminated key figures in Iran's military hierarchy, Netanyahu asserted that these operations have delayed Iran's nuclear ambitions by years, while dismissing calls from the international community for restraint.

In a video message, he stated, "We will hit every site and every target of the Ayatollahs' regime, and what they have felt so far is nothing compared with what they will be handed in the coming days."

In response to the Israeli air campaign, Iranian authorities have reported significant civilian casualties, including at least 60 deaths, among them 29 children, linked to attacks on residential areas.

Israel claims to have struck more than 150 targets across Iran in the continued military action.

The Israeli retaliatory response follows a missile attack launched by Iran, which resulted in at least three fatalities in Israel.

The situation further escalated with U.S. President Donald Trump expressing support for Israel and issuing warnings to Iran about potential consequences.

He indicated that negotiations with Tehran regarding its nuclear program would not be possible unless Iran agrees to significantly downscale its uranium enrichment efforts.

However, Iranian officials rejected the idea of diplomatic talks while military hostilities persist, leading Oman's government to confirm the suspension of upcoming negotiations.

Iran’s military response included launching hundreds of ballistic missiles at various targets in Israel, prompting air raid sirens and a population rush to shelters.

Reports indicate multiple strikes across Israel, resulting in casualties and injuries, with some attacks penetrating Israeli defense systems.

The conflict has also raised concerns about the impact on global oil markets, with crude prices increasing by approximately 7 percent.

An Iranian general has suggested that Tehran may consider closing the Strait of Hormuz if the conflict escalates, further worrying international markets.

As Israel’s military operations are projected to last several weeks, Israeli officials have called for an uprising among the Iranian populace against their government.

Israel has stated that Iranian military installations, as well as those of allied nations in the region, could be targeted if they assist Iran.

In urban areas of both Iran and Israel, communities are grappling with the fear and uncertainty brought on by this escalating violence.

Reports from Iran detail extensive destruction in residential areas, raising urgent humanitarian concerns as collateral damage presents significant risks to civilian lives and infrastructure.

Israeli military officials have claimed substantial damage to facilities at Iran's nuclear sites, including Natanz and Isfahan, and have confirmed the deaths of high-ranking nuclear scientists involved in the program.

The Iranian government continues to assert that its nuclear initiatives are solely for peaceful purposes, although the UN nuclear watchdog has raised concerns regarding compliance with international treaties.

As the situation develops, the potential for wider regional conflict remains a significant concern amid ongoing strikes and military assertions from both nations.
