Iran-Israel War BREAKING: IDF Takes Control Over Tehran’s Airspace | Netanyahu’s Big Blow to Iran [Video]

Iran-Israel War BREAKING: IDF Takes Control Over Tehran’s Airspace | Netanyahu’s Big Blow to Iran

Iran-Israel War BREAKING: The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claim to have seized control of Tehran’s airspace and launched renewed airstrikes in central Iran, reportedly taking out one-third of Iranian missile launchers overnight. An Israeli official hinted these strikes could pressure Hamas into accepting a ceasefire. Israel has proposed a deal where Hamas would release 10 hostages on day one of a 60-day truce. While the UN atomic watchdog confirmed no new damage to Iran’s nuclear sites, tensions remain sky-high as diplomatic and military moves collide. #IsraelIranWar #TehranStrikes #IDF #Hamas #CeasefireDeal #IranMissileSites #Airstrikes #BreakingNews #IranIsrael #MiddleEastCrisis #UNWatchdog #HostageDeal #IranNews #IsraelNews #MissileLaunchers #AirspaceControl #HamasHostages #CeasefireTalks #WarUpdate #GlobalTensions Also Read Know How Israel's 200 Jets Entered Iran's Tehran And Launched Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/know-how-israels-200-jets-entered-irans-tehran-and-launched-attack-4181865.html?ref=DMDesc Nitin Gadkari Attends Iranian President’s Inauguration Hours Before Ismail Haniyeh's Death - See Pics :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/nitin-gadkari-attends-iranian-president-s-inauguration-hours-before-ismail-haniyehs-death-see-pic-3894093.html?ref=DMDesc Who Is Hamas Leader Ismail Haniyeh, Killed In Tehran? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/who-is-hamas-leader-ismail-haniyeh-killed-in-tehran-011-3893501.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~

Pak BETRAYS ‘Brother’ Iran | ‘No Such Commitment’ | Pak on Iran’s ‘tit-fot’tat’ nuclear attack claim

Pakistan has denied claims that it would launch a nuclear strike on Israel if Iran were attacked. Defence Minister Khawaja Asif clarified that Pakistan’s nuclear capability is strictly for national defense—not for hegemonic agendas. This comes after Iranian official Mohsen Rezaei claimed Islamabad had promised nuclear retaliation on Iran’s behalf. While Pakistan maintains strategic ties with Iran and urges Muslim unity against Israel, it has clearly distanced itself from any nuclear involvement, warning the West of Israel’s unchecked nuclear might. #Pakistan #Iran #IsraelIranWar #NuclearStrike #MiddleEastCrisis #KhawajaAsif #MohsenRezaei #PakistanIranTies #IsraelTensions #StrategicDenial #NuclearPolicy #GlobalSecurity #BreakingNews #MuslimUnity #IsraelStrikes #NuclearDeterrence #PakDefence #IsraelConflict #Tehran #Islamabad #MiddleEastNews #Geopolitics #IranPakistan #NuclearThreat #PakRebutsIran #IsraelWar #PakistaniPolitics Also Read Khawaja Asif: Pakistan Made ‘No Such Commitment’ To Iran On Israel Nuclear Strike :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/khawaja-asif-pakistan-made-no-such-commitment-to-iran-on-israel-nuclear-strike-4183025.html?ref=DMDesc Iran: Pakistan Will Launch Nuclear Attack If Israel Strikes With Nukes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-pakistan-will-launch-nuclear-attack-if-israel-strikes-with-nukes-4182787.html?ref=DMDesc Missiles In The Sky, Music On The Roof: Viral Videos Show Beirut Partying Amid Israel-Iran Strikes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/missiles-in-the-sky-music-on-the-roof-viral-videos-show-beirut-partying-amid-israel-iran-strikes-4182745.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.124~

War Over Wedding: Netanyahu Postpones Marriage as Missiles Hit Tel Aviv — Israel Burns, Iran Bleeds

As Israel and Iran trade devastating missile strikes for a fourth straight day, personal milestones have become casualties of war. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has postponed the wedding of his youngest son, Avner Netanyahu, amid escalating public outrage and rising security threats. The wedding, once set to take place at the luxurious Ronit's Farm near Tel Aviv, was abruptly cancelled as missiles slammed into Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Petah Tikva, killing at least 14 in Israel and injuring dozens. In Iran, over 400 are reported dead following Israel’s Operation Rising Lion, which targeted Tehran’s military and nuclear infrastructure. #Netanyahu #AvnerNetanyahu #IsraelIranWar #TelAvivStrike #HaifaMissileAttack #OperationRisingLion #MiddleEastConflict #IsraelUnderAttack #IranMissileStrikes #WeddingCancelled #GazaHostages #WarInIsrael #IDF #Iran #BreakingNews #WorldNews #MiddleEastTensions ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.194~GR.124~
