Rising Casualties Mark Intensifying Iran-Israel Conflict
Violence between Israel and Iran continued unabated into Sunday, with attacks on both sides claiming numerous lives. Reports indicate at least 138 deaths in Iran due to Israeli strikes since Friday, including about half being children, notably when a missile destroyed a 14-story residential building in Tehran.
On the other side, Israeli officials report at least 13 fatalities caused by Iranian missile retaliations, alongside over 380 injuries. The ongoing exchanges have heightened fears of wider regional instability.
Calls for De-escalation Amid International Concerns
US President Donald Trump weighed in on the situation, urging both nations to negotiate peace and halt their attacks. He expressed optimism on social media that a deal between the two adversaries could be imminent due to ongoing diplomatic efforts.
Meanwhile, India remains vigilant, continuing to assess the fluid situation and coordinate with Israel to ensure the ongoing protection of its citizens abroad.
