Overview

• Israel’s air force carried out a third consecutive day of raids across western Iran, targeting fuel depots in northern Tehran and the defense ministry headquarters to degrade Iran’s military and nuclear infrastructure.
• Iran’s Revolutionary Guard responded with two waves of ballistic missiles and kamikaze drones aimed at central and northern Israel, killing at least eight civilians—including children—and wounding over 140.
• Tehran reports that 78 people died in earlier Israeli attacks on sites such as the Natanz uranium enrichment center, while Israel’s total fatalities have climbed to 13 since Friday’s offensive began.
• Diplomatic efforts have included President Trump warning of a maximal U.S. military response if Iran strikes American targets, a Russian offer to mediate between Tehran and Jerusalem, and the cancellation of planned U.S.-Iran nuclear talks in Oman.
• The conflict has prompted emergency deployments in Israel, the first Houthi missile strike on Jaffa, widespread flight cancellations, soaring oil prices, and fears of a wider regional escalation.
