Answer
The latest developments in the Iran conflict include a fragile ceasefire after a 12-day escalation between Iran and Israel, significant casualties and destruction, and ongoing tensions around Iran's nuclear program. Israeli and U.S. strikes targeted Iranian nuclear facilities, military commanders, and scientists, resulting in hundreds of deaths, including civilians. Iran has refused access to IAEA inspectors at bombed nuclear sites, citing safety concerns, and has threatened to suspend cooperation with the agency. The UN nuclear chief states Iran's nuclear capabilities are damaged but not destroyed, and Iran could resume uranium enrichment within months. Large state funerals have been held for top commanders and scientists, with public anger directed at both Israel and the U.S. Internationally, Egypt has condemned Israeli actions and called for sustained ceasefire and renewed diplomatic talks.
