Iran escalates attacks on infrastructure and transport networks across the Gulf | US-Israel war on Iran

Iran dramatically escalated its attacks on civilian infrastructure and transport networks in the Gulf, targeting commercial ships and Dubai's international airport. Israel and US warplanes continued airstrikes against Iran, with both sides claiming to have achieved significant military gains. The conflict has resulted in a growing humanitarian crisis, with over 759,000 people internally displaced in Lebanon and more than 92,000 crossing into Syria. The situation remains volatile as global leaders grapple with the economic consequences of soaring oil prices and the potential for further escalation. Despite calls for restraint from some world leaders, Israel's defense minister stated that the joint offensive against Iran would continue until its objectives are met.
