Tensions soar in the Middle East following the assassinations of Hamas and Hezbollah leaders in Tehran and Beirut. Iran's supreme leader commands an attack on Israel, with Hezbollah promising a severe response.

Iranian officials and militant groups vow revenge, escalating the conflict. Amid tit-for-tat strikes between Hezbollah and Israel, thousands of Israelis evacuate, heightening fears of a regional war.

Russian officials engage in talks with Iran, emphasizing the risk of a broader Middle East conflict. Iran stresses its 'right' to 'punish' Israel for the killings, signaling a dangerous escalation in the crisis.
