Israel intensifies attacks on Iranian energy sites and residential areas, while Iranian retaliatory strikes kill 10 in Israel, raising fears of a wider conflict.
June 15, 2025 – For the third consecutive day, Israel and Iran have engaged in deadly cross-border strikes, with no signs of de-escalation. Israeli airstrikes targeted key Iranian oil facilities and residential zones, while Iranian missiles penetrated Israeli defenses, killing civilians and damaging infrastructure.
Key Developments:
Israeli strikes hit oil refineries near Tehran and Bushehr, disrupting Iran’s energy sector.
Iranian counterattacks struck economic and civilian sites in Israel, killing at least 10 overnight, bringing Israel’s total fatalities to 13.
Over 80 dead and 800 wounded in Iran from Israeli bombings, including 20 children.

Diplomatic Standoff Deepens
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Tehran would halt its retaliations only if Israel ceases its attacks. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump reaffirmed unwavering support for Israel, urging Iran to return to nuclear negotiations—though planned talks in Oman collapsed, with Iran dismissing them as "meaningless."
Global Markets on Edge
The sustained attacks threaten Iran’s already sanction-hit oil industry, raising concerns over potential disruptions to global energy supplies. Analysts warn that further strikes could trigger a broader regional war, drawing in other Middle Eastern powers.
