- Iran’s retaliation has targeted Israel and Gulf states hosting U.S. assets with hundreds of missiles and drones, disrupting airspace across multiple countries and prompting thousands of flight cancellations and delays.
- The conflict expanded to Lebanon as Hezbollah fired on Israel and Israel struck Beirut’s southern suburbs, with authorities reporting dozens killed and Israel mobilizing about 100,000 reservists.
- A British base in Akrotiri, Cyprus, was hit by an Iranian-made drone, Saudi Arabia said debris from intercepted drones caused a small fire at Aramco’s Ras Tanura refinery, and major shippers paused transits near the Strait of Hormuz.
- The Iranian Red Crescent reports at least 555 deaths in Iran, officials in Israel and Gulf states confirm additional casualties, and Kuwait acknowledged accidentally downing three U.S. F‑15E jets with crews recovering safely while governments tighten security protocols.
