The Middle East conflict continues to intensify, with Iran launching heavy attacks across Gulf and regional targets while facing counterstrikes from Israel and the United States. In Iraq, an airbase near Baghdad was hit by Iranian rockets, destroying a military aircraft, while Israeli strikes in Lebanon caused massive destruction, killing over 1,200 people and injuring thousands. Fires also broke out at an oil refinery in Haifa after attacks. Civilian infrastructure has suffered heavily, with over 100,000 homes and 600 schools damaged. In Beirut, airstrikes in residential areas triggered panic, while more than one million people in Lebanon have been displaced. Iran claimed to have shot down multiple Israeli Hermes drones along its southern coast. Meanwhile, Israeli operations continue in Gaza against Hamas militants. Despite ongoing destruction, life in Tehran shows resilience, with markets partially open and citizens adapting to wartime conditions. While global media highlights devastation, many Iranians appear متحد and determined, reflecting both hardship and defiance amid the prolonged conflict.
