US-Iran War Escalates with Missile Attacks and Regional Strikes Israeli military officials confirmed on Friday that Iran launched a new wave of missile attacks, with strikes hitting multiple areas in Iran, including Tehran. Air raid sirens were reported across West Asia, affecting regions such as Bahrain and Israel, as the conflict entered its 21st day. The attacks followed a series of retaliatory strikes by Iran, which intensified its operations in response to previous Israeli actions. Loud explosions were heard near the walls of Jerusalem’s Old City, with smoke rising from the impact site, according to Israeli media. The blasts occurred close to the Jewish and Armenian quarters of the historic area, raising concerns about civilian casualties. Meanwhile, Iranian state media reported that Israeli forces targeted infrastructure in Tehran, with a military statement claiming strikes were directed at "the Iranian terror regime’s infrastructure." The conflict also saw coordinated strikes by the United States and Israel on Iranian cargo vessels in a port city, as reported by Iranian media. Israeli forces reportedly targeted the Caspian Sea region, including major ports like Bandar Anzali. Iran responded by warning its "enemies" that they would not be safe in "parks, recreational areas, and tourist destinations" worldwide, following the killing of senior Iranian leaders. This escalation came after Iran launched attacks on oil and gas facilities in the Gulf, retaliating for an Israeli strike on a key Iranian gas field. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that, at the request of President Donald Trump, Israel would temporarily halt further attacks on an offshore Iranian gas field. However, the Israeli military continued to warn of incoming Iranian missiles, with sirens sounding from Haifa to the Sea of Galilee.#iran #israel #bahrain #saudi_arabia #iranian_gas_field
