Middle East War Day 24: Nuclear Strikes, Cluster Bombs, and Hormuz Tensions Escalate

The war between Iran, Israel, and the United States has entered its 24th day with intense escalation and no signs of de-escalation. US and Israeli forces carried out major airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear and missile storage facilities in Tehran, causing significant damage and fires. In retaliation, Iran launched missile attacks, including cluster bomb-equipped strikes, targeting major Israeli cities such as Tel Aviv, Dimona, and Kiryat Gat. Meanwhile, Israel expanded its operations in Lebanon, destroying a key bridge over the Litani River to disrupt Hezbollah supply lines, while Hezbollah continued rocket attacks on Israeli positions. Tensions have sharply risen over the Strait of Hormuz, after US President Donald Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran, threatening strikes on its power plants. Iran responded by warning it could shut the vital oil route, impacting global energy supply. Crude oil prices have surged above $114 per barrel. With NATO backing the US and continuous cross-border attacks, the conflict is becoming broader, deadlier, and increasingly unpredictable.
