War Intensifies: Iran Hits Iraqi Tanker, Hezbollah Fires Rockets at Israel

Another major development has emerged as Iran continues to expand its attacks in the region. In the latest incident, Iran targeted a large Iraqi oil tanker in Iraqi territorial waters. According to reports, the tanker was struck during an attack in the maritime zone, triggering a massive fire. Visuals from the scene show huge flames and thick smoke rising from the vessel after the strike. At the same time, Iran has continued launching attacks on Erbil in Iraq. New images have surfaced showing a drone strike near Erbil International Airport. The attack reportedly caused heavy smoke near buildings close to the airport, raising serious security concerns in the region. Meanwhile, the conflict is intensifying on multiple fronts. Israel has continued heavy airstrikes on Lebanon, particularly targeting the capital Beirut, where several powerful explosions were reported following strikes by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). In response, Hezbollah launched an aerial attack on northern Israel, targeting the city of Haifa with missiles. Israeli defense systems successfully intercepted at least one of the missiles, though multiple rockets were reportedly fired toward Israeli territory. Amid the escalating conflict, U.S. President Donald Trump made a strong statement, claiming that the United States has already won the war against Iran, saying decisive action had been taken under “Operation Epic Fury.”
