A wave of attacks by Israel and the United States on Iran on Monday killed more than 25 people, targeting military sites including installations of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
In retaliation, Iran fired missiles toward Israel and neighboring Gulf Arab states. Some missiles reportedly reached northern Israel, while Gulf nations such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Kuwait intercepted others. Limited damage and no major civilian casualties have been reported in the Gulf.
This marks one of the deadliest days in the ongoing Middle East tensions. Diplomatic efforts are underway, with regional mediators proposing a temporary ceasefire, though neither side has confirmed acceptance.
The strikes have also heightened concerns over the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil shipments, raising fears of broader regional and economic impacts.
The situation remains tense as officials warn of potential further retaliation.
