In a historic and alarming development, Iran launched an overnight attack on Israel, firing over 300 missiles and drones from its own soil, marking a perilous shift in the volatile region.

This unprecedented act, the first of its kind, was met with a robust defense from Israel, who, with assistance from the U.S., UK, France, and regional allies, successfully intercepted almost all of the incoming projectiles, resulting in no casualties.

The Group of Seven leaders are set to discuss this significant event today. Some analysts suggest that the highly publicized nature of Iran's attack indicates it was more a display of anger over the April 1 killing of two of its senior generals in Damascus, an act widely believed to have been executed by Israel, rather than an attempt to cause extensive destruction.

Meanwhile, President Biden, facing criticism from Democratic voters over his support for Israel following the deaths of thousands of Palestinian civilians in Gaza, can highlight his efforts to prevent a wider conflict.
