The latest Middle East conflict continues after Israel and the US launched a joint operation on Iran, triggering retaliatory strikes on Israel and neighboring Gulf states. Despite US and Israeli leaders claiming Iran's military has been weakened, Iranian missiles continue to target US assets, energy infrastructure, and urban centers across the region. The conflict has disrupted global travel, stranded foreign nationals and families, and increased global commodity prices. The death toll in Iran has risen, with over 1,000 people, including children, killed since Saturday. Additional US-Israel strikes targeted another set of Iranian leaders. The Financial Times has revealed that Israel had hacked Tehran’s street security cameras for years to build a complex surveillance system. The US has closed embassies in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Lebanon, and has ordered non-emergency US government personnel in several Middle Eastern countries to leave. The United Nations has countered these claims, stating Iran was not days or weeks away from having atomic weapons.
