Tensions are rising in Israel amid ongoing missile, drone, and rocket attacks by Iran and Hezbollah.

According to local media, sirens have been sounding repeatedly in various parts of the country since Thursday (April 2), particularly in the Upper Galilee region. Channel 12 reported that at least three rounds of missile attacks were carried out on the same day, prompting alerts across large areas in northern Israel.

U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that Iran’s capability to launch missile and drone attacks has significantly declined and that it now possesses only a limited number of launch systems. However, shortly after his remarks, an Iranian missile struck the port city of Haifa, according to Iran’s state television. Trump also stated that the ongoing conflict could last another two to three weeks, though he believes it is gradually approaching its end.

It is worth noting that tensions across the Middle East escalated following joint U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on February 28. Reports indicate that nearly 2,000 people were killed in those Attack, including Iran’s then Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. In retaliation, Iran launched attacks targeting Israel as well as U.S. military bases in the Gulf region, resulting in casualties and significant infrastructure damage.

Iran has experienced a complete nationwide internet blackout for 37 straight days, setting a new global record, according to internet monitoring organization NetBlocks.

The group reports that this ongoing total disconnection is now the longest ever recorded for any country. Lasting 37 consecutive days—approximately 864 hours—it has surpassed all previous instances of nationwide internet shutdowns.

NetBlocks also noted that while other countries have previously imposed partial or region-specific internet restrictions for extended periods, this is the first time a country has remained entirely disconnected nationwide for such a long duration.

Meanwhile, Qatar-based media outlet Al Jazeera reported that due to this prolonged blackout, ordinary people in Iran have been almost completely cut off from communication with the outside world.

New details have emerged regarding the crew members of a U.S. F-15E fighter jet that crashed during recent clashes in Iran. The United States has claimed that one crew member has been rescued through a special operation conducted after the aircraft went down.

According to a report by Al Jazeera on Sunday (April 5), the second crew member was recovered following intense gunfire. However, the individual has not yet been moved to a fully secure location. A U.S. official stated that the operation is still ongoing to ensure safe extraction.

Meanwhile, Iran’s Tasnim News Agency reported that the pilot of the downed aircraft managed to eject safely. It also claimed that U.S. special forces are continuing operations to recover the pilot.

There are also allegations that multiple strikes were carried out in different areas of Iran’s Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province, based on the suspected location of the pilot.

In addition, reports suggest that another flight crew member is still missing. Operations and strikes are reportedly ongoing in several locations to locate the individual. However, these claims have not been independently verified. The situation remains uncertain, and the operation is still in progress.

Iran has announced that it will allow vessels carrying essential goods and humanitarian supplies to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. According to state media, the key maritime route will not be fully closed, and limited passage will remain available for such shipments.

Shipping activity through the strategically important waterway, which is under Iranian control, has significantly declined in recent days, putting pressure on global energy supplies and international trade.

Several countries are pursuing diplomatic efforts to ensure safe navigation in the region, while a limited number of commercial vessels continue to operate.

Earlier, Iran stated that ships not affiliated with the United States, Israel, or their close allies may be permitted to use the strait.

US Special Forces have launched a special operation inside Iran to rescue a missing crew member after a US fighter jet was shot down in Iranian airspace. The operation reportedly began on Friday night (April 3), according to reports cited by international media.

In a report referencing the British daily The Telegraph, Yahoo News stated that Iran shot down an F-15 Strike Eagle fighter jet. Both crew members managed to eject safely, prompting the United States to immediately begin rescue efforts.

Military helicopters and low-altitude aerial refueling aircraft were deployed in the operation. However, during the mission, both helicopters were damaged by Iranian fire, though they were able to safely return toward Iraq.

The report also said that one of the two crew members was rescued, while the other remains missing. Iranian local media has shown search operations underway, with announcements of a reward for information leading to his capture.

In a separate incident, an A-10 model US aircraft came under Iranian attack during the rescue mission. The pilot was forced to eject into the sea but was later rescued alive.

According to CBS News, citing US officials, two additional US aircraft involved in the rescue of the downed F-15E crew were also targeted during the operation. In one case, an A-10 Warthog was hit, forcing its pilot to jump into the water as an emergency measure.

A helicopter involved in the mission also came under small-arms fire, leaving several crew members injured. Despite this, it managed to land safely. The search for the second missing pilot is still ongoing.

Iran claims another US F-35 shot down in its airspace

Amid rising tensions in the Middle East, Iran has claimed that one of the United States’ advanced F-35 fighter jets was shot down inside its airspace. It has also been suggested that the pilot may not have survived the incident.

On Friday (April 3), international news agency Reuters, citing Iran’s Mehr News Agency, reported the claim. According to Mehr, a powerful explosion occurred during the attack and the pilot was critically injured, with little chance of survival.

However, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) has not issued any official response regarding the incident so far.

Analysts say that if Iran’s claim is confirmed, it could mark a significant escalation in the ongoing regional tensions.

The F-35 is one of the most advanced military aircraft in the US arsenal. Equipped with stealth technology, it is designed to avoid radar detection and can effectively operate even in heavily defended airspace.

About two weeks earlier, Iran made a similar claim. At that time, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) released a video allegedly showing a missile striking a fighter jet in mid-air.

Trump said the Iran campaign has nearly achieved its goals and is in its final phase. He added that stronger strikes could follow if needed to end the conflict quickly.

He claimed that Iran’s naval and missile capabilities have suffered significant damage. However, he did not provide a specific timeline for the end of the war. He also suggested that if a diplomatic solution is not reached, key facilities could be targeted.

Meanwhile, tensions around the Strait of Hormuz continue to rise. Disruptions in this vital shipping route have pushed global oil prices higher, adding to growing concern in international markets.

Iran, on the other hand, has rejected claims of any ceasefire proposal from the US, calling such reports completely baseless, according to its foreign ministry.

US Senator Chuck Schumer strongly criticized Trump’s remarks, describing the war as a major policy mistake in American history.

The US military has stated that multiple targets have been hit during the ongoing operation. However, the situation remains unstable, with tensions continuing across several parts of the Middle East.

Recent surveys show that a majority of Americans support ending the war quickly, and many oppose continued military action.

China has warned that stability will not return to the Strait of Hormuz if the ongoing conflict involving Iran continues to escalate. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi made the remarks during a meeting with Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud.

Wang Yi said the war centered around Iran has created a serious disruption in this vital maritime route. He added that the longer the conflict continues, the more unstable the situation in the strait will remain. He also stressed the urgent need for a ceasefire.

Open Letter from Iran’s President to the American People

In an open letter to the American public, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian outlined his position, saying Iran has never pursued aggression or colonial ambitions, nor initiated attacks on other countries, but has always responded firmly when attacked.

The letter, published on Wednesday (April 1) by the state-run media outlet Press TV, describes Iran as one of the world’s oldest and most continuous civilizations. Pezeshkian also argued that portraying Iran as a “security threat” does not align with historical or observable reality; rather, it reflects the political and economic interests of powerful states.

The letter further claims that the creation of an “enemy” is often used to justify maintaining influence, sustaining military dominance, supporting the arms industry, and controlling strategic markets. In this context, Iran is being negatively portrayed.

The Iranian president warned that any attacks on Iran’s energy, electricity, and industrial infrastructure, or on its civilian population, would be considered war crimes under international law. He added that the consequences of such actions would not be confined to Iran or the Middle East, but could extend globally.

Ceasefire proposal to the United States claim is baseless: Iran

Iran has stated that no proposal regarding a ceasefire has been made to the United States. The government has firmly rejected such claims as “completely false and baseless.”

On Wednesday (April 1), Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Baghaei said in a statement to state media that there has been no communication or exchange of proposals with Washington regarding a ceasefire.

Meanwhile, former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that Iran’s new leadership had contacted the United States regarding a ceasefire.

According to his remarks, such a proposal would only be considered if the Strait of Hormuz is fully “open and normal.”

However, Tehran has directly dismissed these allegations, stating that there has been no discussion or proposal on a ceasefire whatsoever.

Amid this situation, the contradictory statements from both sides have further deepened uncertainty, adding to the ongoing tensions.
