Israel has sworn it will retaliate for Iran's missile barrage on Tuesday, which involved more than 180 ballistic missiles and was largely thwarted by Israel's air defense systems.

Iran’s attack on Israel yesterday evoked a sense of déjà vu. On April 13, too, Iran targeted Israel with hundreds of missiles and drones—at that time marking a first-ever in the history of the two countries.

Rising tensions between Israel and Iran could have a big impact on India, particularly for middle-class families. If a war starts, it could disrupt oil supplies from the Middle East, which would lead to higher prices for fuel and food.
