Tensions in the Middle East have intensified as Israel carried out fresh airstrikes on targets in Tehran and Beirut, focusing on military infrastructure and Iran-backed groups. In response, Iran launched retaliatory missile and drone attacks, raising fears of a broader regional conflict. The escalating hostilities have heightened concerns over global oil supply disruptions, particularly around the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz. International observers warn that continued aggression from both sides could destabilize the region further, with diplomatic efforts struggling to contain the crisis and prevent a full-scale war.
