The war involving United States, Israel, and Iran has entered its 16th day, with intense attacks continuing from both sides. Military operations across the Middle East show no sign of slowing, as missile strikes, drone attacks, and air raids escalate across multiple fronts. One of the major developments is Iran launching the 50th wave of attacks under Operation True Promise IV. Iranian forces reportedly fired drones and missiles targeting US and Israeli military positions in the region, signaling that Tehran is intensifying its retaliation. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has announced that additional warships will be deployed to secure the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical energy shipping routes. Diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions have struggled, as a peace proposal from Oman was reportedly rejected by the United States. In a retaliatory move, Iranian drones reportedly targeted Citibank in Dubai, following earlier attacks on Iranian financial institutions. Heavy fighting has also been reported inside Iran. In Isfahan, an attack reportedly killed 15 people, while in Lebanon, ongoing Israeli strikes against Hezbollah have resulted in around 800 deaths so far. Reports also suggest that Israel may be facing shortages of missile interceptor systems as the conflict continues. Additionally, two officers from Iranian Intelligence Ministry were reportedly killed during recent strikes.
