US-Israel Iran War Live Updates

The UAE Defence Ministry confirmed that its air defence systems are actively countering a barrage of missiles and drones launched from Iranian territory.

The sheer scale of the bombings and the force of the explosives used suggests a deliberate effort by the US to dismantle Iran’s infrastructure, with a particular focus on military targets, although civilian sites such as hospitals and power plants have also been hit in recent weeks.
Incidents were reported in multiple locations, including Isfahan, where blasts occurred throughout the day, although the Iranian government has yet to provide a clear explanation for the strikes. The US claims to be targeting munition depots in the area.
Similar attacks were also recorded in Shiraz and Tehran, while Larestan saw four fatalities and Bandar Abbas was also hit.
A high-profile assassination attempt appears to have been made against Kamal Kharrazi, a former Iranian foreign minister and current head of the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations, who served as an adviser to the late supreme leader. Kharrazi has suffered severe injuries, and his wife was tragically killed in the incident.
While neither the US nor Israel has claimed responsibility for the operation, the situation is cause for concern, as Iran has warned that further targeted killings will prompt retaliatory action against American interests, particularly tech and AI companies in the region, which Tehran believes are collaborating with the US in its covert operations against Iran.

According to a recent statement from the US Central Command, CENTCOM, more than 12,300 targets have been struck since the initiation of military operations against Iran on February 28.

The Commander-in-Chief has initiated his televised address to the American public, with further updates to follow in the coming moments.

President Trump asserts that the US military has achieved resounding triumphs against Iran, citing a string of swift and decisive successes in the past month.

According to the US president, Iran’s naval capabilities have been effectively neutralized, its air force severely damaged, a significant portion of its leadership has been eliminated, and its capacity to launch missile strikes has been significantly constrained.

US President Trump has made the assertion that Iran’s military capabilities, particularly in terms of missile launchers, have been drastically reduced.

In a recent statement, US President Trump posits that his decision to withdraw from the 2015 multilateral nuclear agreement with Iran during his initial term as president safeguarded the region and Israel from catastrophic consequences.
Trump contends that the nuclear deal, brokered under the Obama administration, would have enabled Iran to amass a substantial arsenal of nuclear arms, thereby posing a grave threat to regional stability.
Under the terms of the agreement, Iran had significantly curtailed its nuclear activities, subjecting them to rigorous international oversight.
Trump claims that, had the deal remained in place, Iran would have acquired nuclear capabilities years ago, potentially leading to devastating consequences for the region.
He further asserts that, in this hypothetical scenario, the Middle East and Israel as we know them today would not exist.

The US president praised the military’s performance, stating that the combined efforts of recent actions will severely undermine Iran’s military capabilities, limit its capacity to sponsor terrorist groups, and prevent the development of a nuclear arsenal.

President Trump has acknowledged the widespread anxiety among Americans over rising petrol costs, which have surged by more than 25 percent since the outbreak of conflict. He attributes the short-lived price spike to the Iranian regime’s provocative attacks on oil tankers in nearby countries, which he claims are unrelated to the conflict. Trump views this development as further evidence of Iran’s unreliability in handling nuclear capabilities.
