Escalation of Attacks Between Iran and US

On Monday, Israel and the United States launched a wave of attacks on Iran, resulting in the deaths of over 25 people. In response, Iran retaliated with missile fire targeting Israel and its Gulf Arab neighbors. This occurred as US President Donald Trump's deadline for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz loomed, and mediators circulated a new ceasefire proposal.

Ceasefire Proposal Amid Continued Military Tension

Explosions were heard in the Iranian capital, Tehran, and low-flying jets were audible for hours as the city was pounded by airstrikes. Thick black smoke rose near the city's Azadi Square after one air strike hit. Despite both sides receiving a proposal for a 45-day ceasefire, military clashes persist, and tensions remain high.
