Fears of World War Three are growing after escalating missile attacks between Iran and Israel. Israel’s “Operation Rising Lion” saw 200 jets strike 100 Iranian targets, prompting Iran to retaliate with 100 drones. Iran warned that “any country that participates in repelling Iran’s attacks… will be subject to Iranian forces.”

One of Vladimir Putin’s top generals declared that WWIII has already begun, urging Russia to mobilize one million troops. “We need to prepare… the war has already begun,” Apti Alaudinov wrote on Telegram. He claimed the situation has entered “a new turn and a new momentum.”

Security expert Professor Anthony Glees warned that this could be “a blueprint” for future conflicts, noting that Europe may be drawn in if Iran strikes harder and is supported by groups like Hezbollah and Hamas.

The West is already reacting. President Trump confirmed U.S. embassy staff were relocated from Iraq: “They are being moved out because it could be a dangerous place.” Meanwhile, Israeli phones received emergency alerts—even those on silent or powered off.

The Doomsday Clock is closer to midnight than ever, and tensions remain high. “If Khamenei continues… Tehran will burn,” warned Israel’s Foreign Minister.
