US–IRAN Tensions: Trump’s Deadline Extended, Heavy Strikes Intensify Across Region

The Middle East war has entered its 38th day, with escalating violence and no signs of de-escalation. Former US President Donald Trump has extended his attack deadline against Iran, creating fresh uncertainty while a “countdown” toward possible military action continues. Despite repeated ultimatums, Iran has refused to back down, rejecting ceasefire proposals and continuing retaliatory strikes. In recent developments, US and Israeli forces carried out attacks near Mehrabad Airport and targeted sites including Tehran University. Meanwhile, Iran intensified counterattacks, striking key Israeli cities such as Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Petah Tikva using missiles and cluster bombs, causing heavy destruction. Iran also reportedly downed a US drone near Kharg Island and launched attacks on US bases in Iraq. The US has deployed B-1B bombers to the region, signaling possible escalation. With a major announcement expected from Trump, global tensions remain at a peak, and the next 24–48 hours are seen as critical for the future course of the conflict.
