In response to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, Iran has proposed the formation of an “Islamic Army” that would include Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey.
According to Iranian leader Mohsen Rezaei, this united military force could play a crucial role in resolving the regional crisis. He stated that the initiative aims to encourage Muslim countries to unite in ensuring self-defense and regional security.
Experts suggest that if such an Islamic Army is formed, it could significantly alter the power dynamics in the Middle East. However, they also warn that it might lead to a broader escalation of conflict.
Meanwhile, in the early hours of Monday, Iran launched missile attacks targeting Israel. The attacks struck the capital Tel Aviv and the port city of Haifa, reportedly killing at least five people and injuring many others. The strikes also caused fires in residential areas and damaged power plants.

Tensions between Iran and Israel have been rising steadily, with multiple rounds of attacks and counterattacks in recent days. On June 13, Israeli forces launched airstrikes on several Iranian nuclear and military sites, including locations in Tehran. Iran retaliated forcefully with missile strikes into Israeli territory.
This cycle of violence has led to significant casualties and widespread destruction, escalating fears of a larger regional war.
