The scale of the catastrophe is only now becoming clear. Sources deep inside the intelligence community are whispering of a death toll that has already passed five figures, with the true number likely unreachable. The US-Israeli operation, launched under the cover of 'precision strikes,' has devastated Iranian infrastructure and civilian areas alike.
Independent monitors report entire neighbourhoods levelled in Tehran, Isfahan, and Shiraz. Hospitals overwhelmed. Body bags in short supply.
The official line from Washington and Tel Aviv speaks of military targets. But the screaming from the ground tells a different story. The game has changed.
The Middle East is a tinderbox, and someone just threw a match on the powder keg. Expect recriminations, expect a furious Iranian response, and expect this to dominate every cabinet room from Whitehall to the White House. Buckle up.
This is not over. This is barely the beginning.
