TEL AVIV—Israel was reviewing the damage Wednesday from roughly 180 missiles fired a day earlier by Iran, some of which hit the country’s densely populated center and a few military bases, an aerial attack that has escalated a yearlong conflict in the Middle East.

Raghuram Rajan, former Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor, has cautioned against excluding food prices from inflation calculations. As inflation remains a key concern for the central bank, Rajan's stance is that removing food inflation from headline inflation targets could erode public's 'great faith' in the central bank's ability to manage the broader economic picture. «So, if you leave out some of the most important parts of inflation and tell them, inflation is under control, but food prices are going through the roof… they would not have great faith in the Reserve Bank,» Rajan told PTI in an inerview. Food prices have always played a significant role in shaping India's inflation picture. The current consumer price inflation (CPI) basket assigns a weight of 46% to food, a figure that many argue needs to be revisited as consumption patterns evolve. Nevertheless, Rajan maintains that food prices cannot be dismissed, as they constitute a significant portion of household spending and influence how the general public perceives inflation.

Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and Iranian commander Nilforoshan as well as Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh? Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday said that Iran made a big mistake, and it would pay for it. It is clear that Israel is going to strike Iran hard, and many think it could be targeted assassinations as well as air strikes. Israel’s war cabinet has not decided exactly what form the response will take, Axios reported, and wants to first discuss its options with the United States. “We have a big question mark about how the Iranians are going to respond to an attack, but we take into consideration the possibility that they would go all in, which will be a whole different ball game,” an Israeli official told Axios. Naftali Bennett, a former Israeli prime minister, has urged Israel to attack “destroy [Iran’s] nuclear project, destroy their major energy facilities and critically hit this terrorist regime.” Any Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear sites can potentially be dangerous as Iran's nuclear capabilities are not fully known even though it denies it has any nuclear weapon. Any such strikes by Israel can prompt similar tit-for-tat strikes by Iran.
