The U.N. Security Council is expected to convene an emergency session, though calls for restraint appear fragile as both sides continue to trade fire.

The Escalation Threshold
By directly targeting Iran’s nuclear program, Washington has crossed a critical line. Until now, U.S. involvement had been limited to support roles for Israel. This strike signals a new readiness to expand militarily, fueling concerns of a wider war.

Critics warn that the move will only embolden Iranian hardliners who argue against dealing with the West. Early signals from Tehran suggest leaders are preparing for long-term confrontation rather than backing down.
