Israel-Iran Conflict Sparks Regional Alarm
The advisory follows the sharp escalation of hostilities between Israel and Iran. Israel recently launched a large-scale airstrike on Iranian military and nuclear facilities under “Operation Rising Lion.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a social media statement, “Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a targeted military operation to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel’s very survival,” and confirmed the mission would continue “for as many days as it takes to remove this threat.” In retaliation, Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) initiated “Operation True Promise 3,” a drone and missile strike targeting Israeli fighter jet fuel production facilities and energy infrastructure. Iranian News Agency IRNA confirmed the strikes were direct retaliation against Israeli attacks.
