The 12th day of the Middle East conflict shows escalating tension between Iran, Israel, and the United States. Over the past 12 days, widespread destruction has been reported across Tehran, Tel Aviv, and other strategic locations. Daily attacks involving missiles and explosive devices have targeted military installations, residential areas, and infrastructure, leaving visible signs of devastation. Photographs from February 28 to March 12 document the intensity of the conflict, showing smoke, fire, and damage at key sites. Iran has formally lodged a complaint at the United Nations, claiming that US-led attacks caused environmental hazards including acid rain in Tehran. Iranian officials assert that chemical residues from bombings have polluted the atmosphere, causing health and environmental risks. Meanwhile, US media reports indicate that Washington has instructed Israel to refrain from targeting Iran’s oil infrastructure to prevent civilian harm and preserve energy assets. Military analysts warn that continued missile exchanges, aerial attacks, and chemical contamination risks could further destabilize the region and impact global oil markets. International agencies are closely monitoring the situation, as the conflict threatens not only local populations but also energy security in the Gulf.
