An intensifying conflict brings major powers into delicate negotiations as Israel hits back at Tehran

Israel has launched a major military strike against Iran, responding to a barrage of missiles fired earlier this month by Tehran.

The missile exchange marks an alarming escalation, further igniting tensions that have simmered around the conflict in Gaza.

Israel’s military confirmed they targeted strategic military sites in Iran but stated it refrained from hitting any nuclear or oil facilities.

The U.S. had strongly urged Israel to avoid attacks on these sensitive areas, fearing that a broader strike could spark further regional unrest.

Global leaders have echoed this concern, urging both sides to exercise restraint to avoid a widening of the conflict.

Key figures

Iran justified its missile attack as retaliation for the deaths of key figures in its allied forces, including leaders from Hezbollah and Hamas.

Meanwhile, the U.S. has deployed advanced antimissile systems and additional troops to Israel, aiming to bolster the region’s defenses.

There are new concerns after intelligence leaks revealed that Israel was preparing for a potential larger strike on Iran.

Iran has warned Gulf states against offering support or airspace for any further attacks, stating they would retaliate if provoked.

In recent days, Israeli forces have claimed success in eliminating high-ranking Hamas and Hezbollah leaders.

This has reportedly impacted Iran’s deterrence strategy, creating new pressures for Tehran’s response.

Israel strikes Tehran after Khamenei’s death; U.S. warns of prolonged conflict as tensions escalate in the Middle East.

Israel has launched a new wave of strikes on Tehran, following the reported killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. U.S. President Donald Trump has warned the campaign could last up to a month, framing the operation as a move to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear capabilities.

Iran has retaliated with missile attacks, while its Revolutionary Guards claim responsibility for assaults on oil tankers in the Gulf. The escalating hostilities are already disrupting global shipping lanes and air travel, sending shockwaves through international markets.

With reports of the first U.S. casualties emerging and Washington declaring the Tehran operation a success, tensions across the Middle East are intensifying rapidly. The question now is how far this conflict could spread — and at what cost.

U.S. and Israel launch major military operation against Iran; tensions rise as conflict escalates, impacting global markets.

The United States and Israel have launched a sweeping military operation against Iran, striking leadership targets and more than 500 military sites in what President Trump has dubbed Operation Epic Fury.

Explosions have rocked Tehran, with civilians fleeing the capital as U.S. sea and air assets carry out sustained attacks. Washington says the mission is designed to prevent a nuclear armed Iran and has even called on Iranians to rise up against the regime.

Iran has retaliated with a barrage of missiles and drones targeting Israel and U.S. bases across the region, including in Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. While many projectiles were intercepted, a U.S. base in Bahrain sustained damage.

Gulf states long seen as stable hubs for global business are now directly in the firing line, raising fears of a wider regional war.

Oil prices are climbing and tankers are diverting from the Strait of Hormuz as markets react to the escalating conflict. U.S. aircraft carriers, advanced fighter jets and missile destroyers remain in position, signalling more strikes could follow.

With global leaders scrambling diplomatically, the world is watching to see whether this spirals further or shifts back to negotiations.
