Armed confrontation has reappeared in the Middle East
Tensions are once again looming over the Middle East! Just today, an explosion occurred over the central Iranian city of Isfahan.
According to Lebanese media reports, Iranian air defense forces intercepted about five "targets" over the area, followed by bursts of explosions. However, there is no information on the ground facilities or casualties.
At the same time, the US media also urgently broadcast live, saying that the Israeli military launched seven military strikes on Iranian territory.
It seems that the confrontation between the two sides has reached a critical point! This cannot help but make one wonder whether Israel has taken further "retaliatory" actions against Iran.
Event recap
In fact, the trigger for this air clash dates back to last week. On April 14, Iran launched multiple missiles at an Israeli military position in Syria.
In response, Iran claimed that it was retaliating for the attack on its embassy in Syria last month, which was justified in self-defense. Israel denied it, causing relations between the two sides to drop to a freezing point in an instant.
This vicious circle of "Israel and Iran hurting each other, and you coming and going" is like two fierce opponents dragging each other to the death, and is destined to involve the entire Middle East region in a protracted conflict.
Previously, Jordan, the European Union and other regional forces have called on Israel not to "retaliate" against Iran, so as not to undermine the already precarious peace in the Middle East.
But it is clear that this air campaign has pushed both sides to the brink of danger. If the conflict continues to escalate, the Middle East will truly descend into a frenzy of war with global repercussions.
Jordan is worried
As a country in the Middle East, Jordan is naturally the first to feel the threat posed by this military confrontation.
Indeed, Jordan has been calling for the defuse of current tensions and the avoidance of a large-scale war that is on the verge of breaking out. Jordan's foreign minister has publicly warned that if Israel retaliates for Iran's attack, it will drag the entire region into a devastating war.
Such fears are not unfounded. Once the conflict breaks out completely, Jordan, as a Middle Eastern country, may be affected and become the most direct victim of the war.
Jordan has previously condemned Israel's military operations in the Gaza Strip and called for an immediate ceasefire and the opening of humanitarian aid corridors. In the event of a war in Iran, Jordan will inevitably bear more pressure.
Situation prospects
In the face of such a grim situation in the Middle East, the international community is also full of anxiety.
The European Union has warned that the Iranian-Israeli confrontation should not allow the world to ignore the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and that the civilians of the Gaza Strip will be the biggest victims in the event of a big war.
The United States is also calling on Israel to "think twice" and not to make irreparable mistakes on impulse. After all, once the flames of war are ignited, the flames will spread not only to the entire Middle East, but also to the interests of the United States itself.
Netizen: This interception is a quasi~~~
Netizen: Israel is determined to make things bigger
For now, we will have to wait and see where the situation goes. In any case, peaceful dialogue is the only way forward, and unilateral military action by either side will be counterproductive. It is hoped that people of insight can offer wisdom in time to prevent the Middle East from falling into the abyss from which it will never recover.
As global citizens, we all have a responsibility to cheer for the forces of peace and for the innocent people who may be caught up in war.
