The conflict between the US-Israeli coalition and Iran has entered its 11th day, marked by a relentless expansion of regional hostilities and a deepening humanitarian crisis. Following the high-profile assassination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in the opening strikes, the war has shifted into a sustained air campaign targeting Iran’s ballistic missile sites and command infrastructure. On the ground, Israel has launched a ground invasion of southern Lebanon to dismantle Hezbollah, further widening the front lines as pro-Iranian militias in Iraq and Yemen escalate their own retaliatory strikes against US and Israeli assets.
Global markets and civilian life remain in a state of high alarm. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has sent oil prices soaring, while major airlines like Air India have pivoted to emergency flight schedules to evacuate citizens from the volatile West Asian corridor.
