Israel has announced the beginning of a dangerous new phase in the Iran-US war, launching intense airstrikes on Tehran and southern suburbs of Beirut in Lebanon. Explosions rocked the Iranian capital and Lebanese areas as the IDF conducted broad waves of attacks on military targets. This escalation comes as the conflict enters its seventh day, with powerful blasts reported across residential zones in Tehran.

US forces have supported the operation by striking Iran’s drone carrier and using B-2 bombers against underground missile sites. Iranian responses include missile and drone attacks toward Gulf states. The declaration of a ‘new phase’ signals a commitment to more aggressive actions aimed at dismantling remaining Iranian threats.

The strikes have heightened fears of wider regional involvement, with displacements in Lebanon and international concerns over civilian safety. Leaders are watching closely as the situation risks further destabilization in West Asia.
