The conflict between Iran and Israel has entered its 16th day, with both sides intensifying military operations. Reports say Iran is using drones and ballistic missiles under Operation True Promise, with the 50th wave aimed at showing that Tehran still has a large missile stockpile despite earlier claims by Donald Trump that U.S. strikes had destroyed much of it. Iranian officials warn they still possess thousands of missiles capable of changing the course of the war. Meanwhile, Israel has expanded airstrikes in southern Lebanon, particularly near Sidon, targeting positions linked to Hezbollah. The group responded by launching rockets at dozens of Israeli military sites in northern Israel. Analysts fear the conflict could widen further. Experts also suggest Iran may be receiving intelligence support from China and Russia. Meanwhile, tensions remain high around Kharg Island and the Strait of Hormuz, key hubs for global oil shipments.
