The war has continued to disrupt the region, affecting oil supplies, shipping routes and the broader security situation across several countries.

Iravani accused the United States and Israel of deliberately targeting civilians by striking “populated residential areas” and “critical civilian infrastructure.”
The US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) has warned that the toll may be even higher, estimating at least 1,858 people have been killed, including both civilians and military personnel.
Meanwhile, at least 773 people have been killed in Israeli attacks on Lebanon since the Iran-backed Hezbollah group launched attacks on Israel, according to the country’s Ministry of Public Health.
