In a dramatic shift in Middle East dynamics, Israel launched what experts are calling its most extensive operation yet on Iranian nuclear facilities. In a televised interview, Qin Tian, deputy director of the Institute of Middle East Studies of China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations, described the strike as "unprecedented in both scope and intensity."
This latest assault goes far beyond previous sporadic acts of sabotage, targeting dozens of key nuclear sites spread across several provinces—a move that directly challenges Iran's national security and symbolic pride. The broad geographical sweep of the attacks has raised fresh concerns about regional stability. ⚡
Qin Tian warned that a forceful Iranian retaliation is highly likely. Drawing lessons from past missile exchanges, he suggested that Iran could respond with large-scale missile and drone attacks, and there is even speculation about the potential targeting of U.S. interests in the region. This intensifying situation calls for global attention as the geopolitical landscape shifts.
