Overview
- Israel launched new waves of attacks inside Iran, striking command centers, rocket sites and oil depots in Tehran, which prompted fuel rationing that limits drivers to 10 liters per purchase.
- Iran fired rockets at Israel under the new leadership and targeted Gulf states, with Bahrain reporting 32 civilians injured and Saudi Arabia confirming two deaths from a projectile strike near Riyadh.
- The Israeli military accused Iran of using cluster munitions in the latest salvos against Israel, a claim that has not been independently verified.
- Washington ordered non‑essential U.S. diplomats to depart Saudi Arabia as security risks rose, President Trump warned the new Iranian leader lacks U.S. backing, and the energy secretary said the U.S. is not targeting Iran’s oil sector.
- Oil markets surged past $100 a barrel as traffic through the Strait of Hormuz thinned, and Israel expanded strikes on Hezbollah in Beirut alongside ongoing cross‑border exchanges.
