Overview
- Israel said it carried out a wide-scale wave of strikes on targets in Tehran, Shiraz and Tabriz, with the military also claiming hits on sites linked to Iran’s space program and additional strikes on Hezbollah infrastructure in Beirut.
- Iran launched fresh missiles and drones toward Israel and Gulf states, temporarily halting flights at Dubai International Airport and triggering a fire at Fujairah’s oil zone, while Saudi Arabia and Qatar reported intercepts and Kuwait reported radar damage.
- Israeli officials said detailed plans cover at least the next three weeks of operations and that thousands of targets remain, as the military also began limited, targeted ground actions against Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon.
- Regional shipping remains constrained with the Strait of Hormuz largely shut to normal traffic, and President Donald Trump urged partners to help secure the waterway even as many allies signaled caution about joining any military escort effort.
- Humanitarian monitors reported mounting civilian casualties and displacement inside Iran, and emergency services in Israel reported recent injuries from Iranian strikes, as explosions and drone activity were also reported near Baghdad’s airport and the US Embassy compound.
