Everything we know on the eighth day of the US and Israel’s war with Iran The United States and Israel have been engaged in a full-scale conflict with Iran for eight days, escalating tensions across the Middle East and drawing warnings of potential global consequences. The war has intensified with widespread attacks, displacement of civilians, and growing fears of a broader regional crisis. The United Nations has urged immediate diplomatic efforts to prevent the situation from spiraling further. Key developments include President Donald Trump’s declaration that Iran must achieve “unconditional surrender,” with no specific demands outlined. Trump emphasized that the U.S. and Israel’s primary concern is ensuring the new Iranian leadership treats them favorably, diverging from his earlier calls for the Iranian public to overthrow their government. Meanwhile, the UN Secretary-General has called for urgent negotiations to de-escalate the conflict, warning that the situation could become uncontrollable. Israel has launched a “broad-scale wave of strikes” against Iran, targeting key infrastructure in Tehran. Footage showed Mehrabad airport engulfed in flames, while U.S. Central Command reported over 3,000 Iranian targets struck in the past week. The attacks have resulted in significant casualties, with Iranian state media confirming more than 1,230 deaths, including children. Residents in Iran describe living in constant fear, with many hiding indoors or fleeing villages due to relentless bombardment. An internet blackout has further exacerbated the crisis, leaving people without access to critical information or warnings. In Lebanon, Israeli strikes have continued, targeting Hezbollah command centers. Lebanese state media reported over 200 deaths and nearly 800 injuries from the attacks.#us #iran #israel #united_nations #hezbollah
