New Delhi 6 : The US-Israel conflict with Iran is spiraling fast, with missile barrages, naval clashes, and spillover chaos gripping the Middle East in its worst crisis in decades. Iran just fired fresh missiles at Israel, while Israel hammered Hezbollah positions in Lebanon. In a major naval escalation, a US submarine sank an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean.
Death tolls are climbing steeply—over 1,000 killed in Iran alone, plus dozens more in Lebanon and Israel. Tehran’s facing relentless airstrikes, and the hunt for a successor to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is throwing Iran’s leadership into turmoil. The UN reports tens of thousands fleeing the capital amid the devastation.
In the US, Senate Republicans shot down a bid to curb President Trump’s war powers, showing solid support for the campaign. The White House insists no ground troops are involved—for now—but hasn’t closed the door on it.
The war’s rippling globally too. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh cautioned that it’s “directly impacting oil and gas supplies,” with missile strikes near the Strait of Hormuz slashing tanker traffic. Oil prices are surging, markets are jittery, and shipping firms are rerouting to dodge the dangers.
Stick here for live updates on strikes, statements, diplomacy, and the economic shockwaves.
