War Alert: Mehrabad Airport Blasts as Iran Rejects US Ultimatum

The Middle East conflict has entered its 38th day with escalating violence and sharp geopolitical tensions. Donald Trump has issued a strong ultimatum, warning that Iran could face massive destruction if no deal is reached. However, Iran has firmly rejected the ultimatum, asserting it will defend its sovereignty with full force and keep the Strait of Hormuz closed for adversaries. A major development includes a reported airstrike near Mehrabad Airport in Tehran by US-Israel forces, causing explosions and fire. Meanwhile, Trump held talks with Benjamin Netanyahu, while Russia urged the US to avoid ultimatum-based diplomacy. In the past 24 hours, attacks have been reported across key regions including Bushehr, Ahvaz, Baghdad, Beirut, and Haifa. Additionally, Israeli strikes in Lebanon resulted in casualties, while Iran launched drone attacks in response. Amid the conflict, global oil prices have surged beyond $111 per barrel, reflecting the growing instability in the region.
