Israel has intensified its military campaign against Iran as the conflict enters its second week, striking key missile infrastructure and military facilities across Tehran and central Iran. In this update on the escalating Israel–Iran war, the Israel Defense Forces deployed more than 80 fighter jets to target ballistic missile production sites, underground storage facilities, and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps assets, including aircraft linked to the IRGC Quds Force at Tehran’s Mehrabad International Airport. The strikes come as Iran continues launching ballistic missile salvos toward Israeli cities such as Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Beersheba, triggering air raid sirens and sending millions of civilians to shelters across the country.
The conflict has also produced a major political shift inside Iran. Mojtaba Khamenei has been named the new Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic following the death of his father, Ali Khamenei, who was killed in joint U.S.–Israeli strikes during the opening phase of the operation. The appointment by the Assembly of Experts signals a continuation of Iran’s hardline leadership, with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps pledging full obedience to the new leader. At the same time, Donald Trump warned that Iran’s new leadership would need international approval to remain in power and stated that further action remains possible to prevent Iran from pursuing nuclear weapons.
Beyond the battlefield, security concerns have also emerged in the United Kingdom after reports that Mojtaba Khamenei owns luxury apartments overlooking the Embassy of Israel, London. Experts warn the properties could provide a strategic surveillance position near the diplomatic compound, raising questions about foreign influence, intelligence gathering, and national security in London. Meanwhile, the regional conflict continues to spread, with Iranian drones and missiles striking targets across the Gulf and Hezbollah launching attacks from Lebanon toward northern Israel.
This report examines the latest developments in the Israel–Iran conflict, including Israeli airstrikes on Iranian missile sites, Tehran’s retaliation with ballistic missiles, the appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran’s Supreme Leader, and the broader geopolitical implications for the Middle East and global security.
