Israeli–U.S. Strikes Hit Tehran Fuel Depots and Beirut Hotel as Iran Pledges Six Months of War

Overview

• Israel and the United States carried out new pre‑dawn raids across Iran, with strikes setting multiple fuel depots near Tehran ablaze and hitting Mehrabad airport after earlier attacks on military sites in Tehran and Isfahan.
• Iran announced a massive wave of drone and missile attacks targeting U.S. forces and Israel, while Gulf states reported fresh interceptions and damage, including hits near Dubai, strikes on Kuwait’s airport fuel tanks and Saudi shootdowns of missiles and drones.
• An Israeli strike on a central Beirut hotel killed at least four people and wounded ten, with Israel saying it targeted senior Quds Force figures, as bombardments continued in Hezbollah strongholds and displacement in Lebanon climbed to roughly 300,000 people.
• CENTCOM reported more than 3,000 targets struck since the campaign began and Israel detailed hundreds more in recent days, while Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said it has already hit over 200 American and Israeli targets in the region.
• Global oil prices have jumped roughly 30–35% this week as attacks, threats around the Strait of Hormuz and new strikes on Iranian petroleum facilities disrupt energy flows and shipping.
