Iran-US-Israel Conflict Escalates

The conflict between Iran, the United States, and Israel has escalated significantly. Iran rejected a ceasefire proposal, demanding a lasting end to the war and pushing back against reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global energy route. US President Donald Trump issued a final ultimatum, threatening to 'take out' Iran and destroy its infrastructure if a deal is not reached by his deadline. This includes vows to decimate every bridge and power plant in Iran. Both the United States and Israel have conducted multiple airstrikes against Iran, targeting government infrastructure, universities like Sharif University of Technology, and petrochemical facilities. Israel also claimed responsibility for killing Majid Khademi, the intelligence chief of Iran's Revolutionary Guard. In retaliation, Iran has launched missile attacks towards Israel and claimed responsibility for attacks on Israeli-linked vessels. Regional allies like the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain have issued public safety alerts due to missile threats. The Houthis in Yemen have also claimed missile and drone attacks against Israel. The conflict has resulted in thousands of casualties across the Middle East, a sharp rise in fuel prices, and increased global market anxiety.
