Israel-Iran War: The tension between Iran and Israel in the Middle East is constantly increasing. Even though Iran has not yet responded to Israel's attack on October 26, the possibility of conflict between the two countries is not averted. In view of recent events, Iran has started taking some important steps to further strengthen its security, which makes it clear that it is ready for possible future attacks.Iran's first defensive-tunnel projectThe latest example of Iran's security preparations is its first defensive-tunnel project. This project has been started in the country's capital Tehran. According to Iranian state media, this tunnel will provide an underground route from the center of the capital to Imam Khomeini Hospital. This tunnel will act as a safe route in case of war, which will be used to provide medical facilities safely and quickly. According to the head of transport of the Tehran City Council, this is the first time a tunnel in the capital is being designed with defensive applications.Iran's underground shelter and bunker structureLast year, Iran built several underground shelters and bunkers to increase its security. State media also made public a glimpse of these structures. These underground shelters were specially built to protect air defense systems and other weapons. This was the first time that Iran shared such information about its defense system, which shows that it is ready for any attack.Preparation for a possible war with IsraelIn recent months, Iran and Israel have taken an aggressive stance against each other several times. In an attack by Israel on October 26, some important military bases of Iran were attacked, in which five people, including a civilian, were killed. Israel described this attack as a response to the attack carried out by Iran on October 1.On the other hand, Iran has started preparing for a retaliatory attack, calling the Israeli attack an attack on its sovereignty. Iran says that it will not delay in taking action against Israel. Israel has also clearly warned Iran that if Iran tries to attack again, Israel will target those bases which were left untouched last time.Fear of war and impact on regional stabilityAnalysts believe that if the tension between the two countries continues to grow like this, it can turn into a major war. The situation of war between the two countries will not be limited to their borders only, but can cause instability in the entire Middle East. The eyes of America and other Western countries are also fixed on this matter, and it is possible that they too may intervene if the situation worsens.ConclusionThe growing tension between Iran and Israel has brought the entire region to a sensitive juncture. The construction of defensive-tunnel-like structures and the arrangement of underground shelters by Iran shows that it is ready to face any attack. In the coming times, the strategy and steps of both the countries will decide whether this tension will turn into a war or both the countries will move towards a solution through diplomacy.
