The war has seen a series of military actions, including missile exchanges, naval strikes, and regional spillover.

A U.S. submarine reportedly sank an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean, marking a significant escalation at sea. Casualties have mounted, with over 1,000 reported dead in Iran and dozens killed in Lebanon and Israel. Tehran is under sustained bombardment, and the search for a successor to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei adds further political uncertainty. The United Nations reports that tens of thousands have fled the Iranian capital.
