India, March 18 -- Tehran has dramatically escalated tensions in the Middle East after Ali Larijani, Iran's top security official, was killed in an airstrike attributed to Israeli forces. In retaliation, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched over 100 missiles and projectiles into Israel, targeting military installations, strategic sites, and key urban areas.

The unprecedented retaliation marks a new phase in the ongoing conflict, drawing in the United States and Gulf nations and triggering fears of a prolonged regional war. Civilians across Israel and surrounding countries are facing heightened danger, while global markets react to the threat of instability in energy exports and trade.
