The war in the Middle East continues to escalate as Iran launched several missiles overnight targeting different locations in Israel, including Tel Aviv. Most of the missiles were intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome, but a few managed to strike their targets. Iran has been carrying out attacks in waves, increasing pressure on Israel. Meanwhile, challenges are growing for Donald Trump as the conflict appears to be turning into a prolonged war. Analysts say the primary objective of the United States and Israel is to bring about regime change in Iran, but that goal is proving difficult. Even after the reported death of Ali Khamenei, Iran’s powerful military force, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, has not surrendered and continues to resist. There are also reports that the Kurds have refused to support the United States, stating they will not fight America’s war or act as a puppet of foreign powers. At the same time, Iran is expanding pressure across the region. Missile and drone attacks have reportedly affected several Gulf countries, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and United Arab Emirates. Experts say this strategy could disrupt oil and gas supplies, potentially impacting the global economy. Iran has also shifted tactics by reducing small drone attacks and instead launching powerful ballistic missiles such as the Kheibar Shekan missile, which can cause large-scale damage over a wide area.
