See Photos of the Escalating Conflict Between Iran and Israel
Smoke and missiles have lit up the skies in Israel and Iran in a fierce standoff triggered by fears over Tehran’s expanding nuclear program.
Since June 13, hundreds of military strikes have been exchanged as the two nations remain locked in a conflict that shows no signs of abating.
The ongoing exchange of attacks has brought the death toll to at least 224 in Iran and 24 in Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed Monday that military forces are “striking regime targets—unlike Iran’s criminal regime, which targets civilians.”
In Tehran, many residents are fleeing to safer areas, while in Israel, air raid sirens continue to sound, urging citizens to seek shelter.
The violence has also resulted in significant damage to residential buildings, power grids, and oil refineries.
