The Middle East conflict has entered its 39th day with intense escalation, as no side shows signs of backing down. Iran has launched missile strikes on Saudi Arabia’s Al Jubail and drone attacks on US bases in Erbil, Iraq, while the US and Israel carried out heavy airstrikes on Tehran’s Mehrabad Airport, causing massive fires. In Lebanon, Israeli forces targeted Hezbollah positions, while Hezbollah retaliated by destroying Israeli Merkava tanks using FPV drones. The conflict has spread across multiple regions including Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Israel, and Saudi Arabia, reflecting a widening war zone. Amid rising tensions, Donald Trump’s “doomsday plane” — the Boeing E-4B Nightwatch — was spotted near Washington, signaling heightened military readiness. This airborne command center can operate during nuclear scenarios. Trump also referenced Qasem Soleimani, calling him an “evil genius,” justifying past US actions. Meanwhile, Iran has vowed continued retaliation, indicating the war is likely to intensify further.
