Israel Iran War Tensions

Amid ongoing offensives against Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Israeli military on Tuesday warned Iran that it would be hit "very, very hard" if it retaliated against Israel for its attacks on Tehran last week.

Israel's Mossad chief is set to visit Qatar to discuss the release of hostages in Gaza, even as Egypt proposed a two-day truce in the Palestinian enclave, as regional tensions simmered.

With the conflict in West Asia escalating significantly after Israel and Iran threatened each other of an endless series of retaliations, PM Modi on Tuesday met Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in Russia on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit.

While Israel's plans for retaliation are not directly tied to the upcoming election, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly aware of the potential impact on American politics. 

Lebanese militant group Hezbollah said it had targeted an Israeli military intelligence base near Tel Aviv on Monday.

Republican White House hopeful Donald Trump said Friday he believes Israel should strike Iran's nuclear facilities in response to the Islamic republic's recent missile barrage.

Israel on Thursday said it hit Hezbollah's intelligence headquarters in the Lebanese capital Beirut amid growing fears of an all-out war in the Middle East following recent days of exchange of hostilities between Israeli troops and Iran-backed group.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has said that Iran does not seek war, but will respond if Israel acts against the country.

In its first reaction to fresh escalation of tensions in West Asia, India on Wednesday called for restraint by all sides and said the conflict must not take a wider regional dimension.

Iran on Tuesday fired 200 missiles, including hypersonic weapons, at Israel as tensions in the Middle East reach breaking point. Israel has vowed that Iran will "pay" for the attack. But relations between the two countries were not always sour.

Iran's Ambassador to India Iraj Elahi today said that his country will "strike Israel again", if Tel Aviv doesn't refrain from attacking Tehran's national assets and interests in the region.

Israel Defense Forces or IDF is currently assessing the missile attack by Iran today and an appropriate response will be given to Tehran, said Guy Nir, spokesperson of the Israeli embassy in India, speaking exclusively to NDTV.

Amid escalating tensions in West Asia (Middle East), the Indian Embassy in Israel has cautioned all Indians to stay vigilant and follow safety protocols advised by local authorities.

Israel said it killed Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in a powerful airstrike in Beirut, prompting Iran to call for the United Nations Security Council to meet over Israeli military's actions in Lebanon and across the Middle East region.

The Middle East has been in turmoil since Iran-backed group Hamas attacked Israel on October 7 sparking war in Gaza and drawing in Iranian allies around the region.
