Event Summary

Tensions in West Asia have sharply escalated with renewed attacks between Israel and Iran, marking the 100th day of their conflict. Israel launched airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs, leading to Iran retaliating with strikes on Israel. This was followed by further attacks and counterattacks, including Israeli strikes on Iranian military infrastructure and Iran's Revolutionary Guard alleging the use of air-launched ballistic missiles. The Iran-backed Houthis also announced a ban on Israeli shipping in the Red Sea, further exacerbating maritime security concerns. India, through its India — Ministry of External Affairs, has expressed deep regret and concern, calling for immediate de-escalation, protection of civilians, and a diplomatic solution, highlighting the conflict's immense human suffering and its debilitating impact on the global economy and energy supplies.
