The conflict between Iran, Israel, and the United States intensified as Iran reportedly targeted a US military headquarters in Erbil, Iraq, with missile attacks. The strike came amid escalating retaliation following ongoing US-Israel airstrikes on Iranian military and security targets. At the same time, heavy bombardment continued in Tehran, with Israeli forces striking facilities linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and other security units. The war, which began after coordinated US-Israel strikes on Iran in late February 2026, has expanded across the region, with missile exchanges, drone attacks, and rising casualties. The widening conflict is increasing fears of a broader regional war and further instability in West Asia. (PC: X)
