Israel Announces Additional Mobilization of Tens of Thousands of Reservists

There is a sharp escalation in the Middle East situation. According to the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs as of June 14, none of our citizens are among the casualties in Iran and Israel. For urgent evacuation to the homeland, diplomats recommend contacting our embassies in these two countries, as well as in Egypt.

Iran-Israel Conflict

Meanwhile, Israeli media report that approximately 200 Iranian rockets were launched at the country over the past day; around 50 of these were not intercepted. Representatives of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) insist that the attack did not cause significant damage and that all military facilities are operating at maximum efficiency. Nevertheless, the country has declared an additional mobilization of tens of thousands of reservists. In Tel Aviv, Haifa, and several other cities, four people have been killed by rocket strikes, and dozens have been wounded.

Israel continues to target Iranian objectives: in recent hours, strikes were carried out around four cities located near the Azerbaijani border. The IDF reported killing nine leading scientists involved in Iran’s nuclear program. However, not all strikes are precise: Iranian authorities report that a residential building was destroyed as a result of Israeli bombings, with 60 people killed under the rubble, including about 20 children. The total number of civilian casualties in Iran has already exceeded one hundred, with at least 300 injured.

Israeli authorities have called on the Iranian population to instigate a coup. Elon Musk even claims to have enabled access to the “Starlink” internet system to facilitate coordination among anti-government forces. Both sides are avoiding strikes on each other's energy and oil-producing infrastructure — a move that helps prevent a sharp rise in global oil prices. Despite support for Israel from the United States, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, the current escalation took many by surprise: former President Donald Trump indicated that Prime Minister Netanyahu informed him of the attack on Iran at the very last moment. The American president expressed hope for a swift peaceful resolution of the conflict. However, while the West has rallied around Israel, the East has expressed support for Iran: Pakistan has called on the Islamic world to unite, and China has demanded that Tel Aviv cease violating international law.
