Military escalations continue to intensify across the Middle East with airstrikes reported in multiple countries. Israel resumed air strikes in southern Lebanon and Beirut. Simultaneously, Iranian forces launched a wave of missile and drone attacks in Israel and US installations in Bahrain and Qatar. Airstrikes were also reported in Tehran, with residents stating that the strikes were among the most intense since the conflict began. Additionally, the US reported destroying mine-laying vessels to protect shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. These confrontations have intensified displacement, disrupted regional trade and energy markets, and heightened fears of a wider regional war.
