New conflict in the Middle East: Iran and Israel in the rain of rocket!

Teheran, Iran - On June 18, 2025, the military conflicts between Israel and Iran occurred. Iranian armed forces once again fired rockets on Israel, whereupon the Israeli Air Force intervened in Tehran. According to Vol.at , Iranian sources reported that they fired "hyperschallrakets" of the type "Fattah 3" onto the territory of Israel. In a short period of time, two rocket salvings were fired towards Israel, while the reports on victims on both sides were initially unclear.

The situation further tightened when Israel confirmed information about the attack on a rocket production facility in Khojir near Tehran. Iranian revolutionary guards claimed that they had the sky under control over the "occupied areas". US President Donald Trump had called his national security team to advise on the current situation while the US military supported Israel, but excluded direct participation in the fights. It was also known that a second US aircraft carrier will be sent to the Middle East. This happened in the context of increasing violence and the closure of the US message in Jerusalem until next Friday.

Interactions and number of victims

The reports of mutual attacks indicate a significant escalation of the conflict. According to tagesschau.de , the number of victims increased significantly. In Bat Jam, a suburb of Tel Aviv, residential buildings were met, which resulted in at least 13 fatalities, including children. In addition, 35 people are missing, while rescue teams are actively looking for survivors.

In the course of Sunday there were further explosions in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, and Israeli army reported in several parts of the country. Violence led to injuries to at least seven people in northern Israel. On the Iranian side, authorities reported explosions in Tehran, especially near the Mehrabad Airport, whereby the water supply failed in certain districts.

political reactions and international dimension

The geopolitical tensions are intensified by the reactions of the political leaders. Israel's Premier Netanyahu warned that Iran will pay a high price for his aggression. Trump praised the Israeli offensive and at the same time warned Iran of attacks on US military. According to bpb.de Iran Israel also accused the sabotage of nuclear discussions, while the EU foreign officer affairs a video conference of the Foreign Minister to the situation too discuss.

The situation in the Middle East remains extremely tense, especially in the context of the existing conflict between Israel and militant groups such as Hamas. The riots that broke out in the middle of the most brutal violence on October 7, 2023 have further reinforced the collective trauma in the region. The conflict is shaped by territorial and ethnic national requirements and has deeper roots that go back to the late 19th century.

Overall, a dark picture of the current situation shows: violence has led to considerable human losses, and the international community faces the challenge of finding diplomatic solutions and promoting humanitarian aid measures.
