Will Iran respond to Israel’s latest attack? | Conflict

Israel attacked Iran early on Saturday and said its objectives have been achieved.

Israel launched air strikes against several Iranian military targets early on Saturday.

It said the strikes were in response to what Israel called months of continuous attacks from Iran. Meanwhile, Tehran said the damage was limited.

Israel has stepped up its attacks against Iranian-backed groups in Lebanon, Syria and Iran.

Now, the Iranian leadership is threatening to retaliate.

But could this cycle of violence lead to a broader regional conflict?
