Middle East conflict: Iran–Israel War Intensifies on Day 24, US Bases Targeted in Iraq

The ongoing war between Iran and Israel has entered its 24th day, with intense exchanges of attacks from both sides. Despite warnings from Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, Iran remains defiant and continues heavy retaliatory strikes. A major development occurred when Israel carried out a significant airstrike in Tehran, targeting a missile storage facility, causing massive explosions and fire. Iranian media released visuals of the damage. In response, Iran launched fresh attacks on Israel and also targeted US-linked positions. Meanwhile, in Iraq, Iran-backed militia groups carried out multiple drone strikes on American military bases, leading to heavy damage and explosions. Reports suggest back-to-back drone attacks hit US installations. The conflict is rapidly escalating across multiple fronts, increasing fears of a wider regional war involving more countries and prolonged instability.
