Israel-Iran War: Iran launched over 200 missiles targeting Israel on October 1, 2024, escalating tensions in an already volatile region. While Israel’s advanced defense systems intercepted most projectiles, the attacks highlight the deteriorating relations between the two nations. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded with a warning that Iran would "pay for it," while U.S. President Joe Biden urged restraint. The incident raises concerns about Iran's nuclear ambitions and the potential for a larger conflict involving regional powers and global interests.
