Iran Israel War News Live | US Israel Attack Iran Today Live Updates: As the war in the Gulf entered its fifth day on Wednesday, the United States and Israel have continued to carry out strike on Iran. The conflict has also spread to Lebanon, where Israel has been carrying out an intense bombardment. Meanwhile, Iran is ‘close’ to choosing its new Supreme Leader. However, the state funeral for Ayatollah Khamenei has been postponed.
Here’s what happened so far:
Tensions in the Middle East have sharply escalated as the United States and Israel continue military operations against Iran, triggering retaliatory strikes, rising casualties and global economic shocks. Diplomatic contradictions, regional security fears and disrupted oil routes are deepening uncertainty across the region.
US Consulate in Dubai attacked
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said all personnel were accounted for after a drone struck the grounds of the US consulate in Dubai. A source told CNN the drone was suspected to be Iranian. Earlier, the US closed embassies in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Lebanon and warned Americans to leave some countries in the region.
New US strikes
US President Donald Trump said most of Iran’s military installations had been “knocked out” and confirmed new strikes targeting Iranian leadership. Israel also struck a compound linked to the body responsible for electing Iran’s next supreme leader. Trump later contradicted Rubio’s rationale, saying he ordered US forces to join Israel because he believed Iran was preparing to strike first.
Rising death toll in Iran
According to Iranian government agency, at least 1,045 people have been killed in war so far.
Iran’s retaliation expands
Tehran continued retaliatory attacks for a fourth consecutive night, with strikes reported on Washington’s embassy in Dubai and a port in Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates.
Oil market turmoil
Global markets reacted sharply after Iran declared the Strait of Hormuz closed. Trump said the US navy was ready to escort tankers through the waterway. Shipping disruptions pushed US gasoline prices to their largest one-day rise since 2005, while oil prices climbed and stocks fell. Iraq also slowed or halted production at the Rumaila field and the West Qurna 2 project.
