The war between the United States, Israel, and Iran continues to escalate, with fresh airstrikes reported in Tehran and parts of Lebanon. Israeli forces targeted military sites and Hezbollah-linked positions, while Iran retaliated with missiles and drones toward Israel and Gulf states. The conflict intensified after a joint U.S.–Israeli strike killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, triggering wider regional tensions. U.S. President Donald Trump has ruled out negotiations and demanded Iran’s “unconditional surrender,” while also signaling involvement in selecting Iran’s next leadership. Meanwhile, evacuations and security alerts have increased across the Middle East as the conflict threatens regional stability and global energy routes. (PC: AFP)
