Iran war entering ‘decisive phase’, Israel says, as attacks continue

## Escalating Tensions: War Between Iran and Israel Enters "Decisive Phase" The ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel has entered a critical phase, with both sides escalating their attacks. The situation escalated significantly on Saturday as explosions rocked cities across the Middle East, including strikes on the US embassy in Baghdad and a major Emirati energy facility. Israel's Defense Minister declared the war was entering its "decisive phase," while Iran continues to threaten Gulf nations and oil facilities. The conflict has caused widespread disruption, with millions displaced and over 1,200 reported deaths in Iran. Oil prices have surged as Iran blocks the vital Strait of Hormuz, threatening global energy supplies. Despite facing superior firepower from the US and Israel, Iran remains determined to fight on, launching missile and drone attacks against its neighbors. The conflict has drawn international attention, with Turkey intercepting Iranian ballistic missiles and Lebanon's Hezbollah group joining the fray after Iran's supreme leader's death.
