Iran fired six missiles at US military bases in Qatar on Monday in its first direct strike after the US bombed Iranian nuclear sites. The attack marked the launch of Iran’s new military operation, Besharat Fatah. Loud blasts were heard across Doha, causing panic. Qatar quickly closed its airspace, and embassies told people to stay indoors. The US base at Al Udeid, the largest in the region, may have been targeted.

The US B-2 bomber flew for 37 hours non-stop to strike Iran’s nuclear sites in “Operation Midnight Hammer.” The mission was one of the longest in B-2 history. The stealth jet took off from Missouri and was refuelled in the air several times. It has beds, toilets, snacks, and a microwave, making it feel like a flying hotel. Each bomber had two pilots, with a third sometimes on standby. The B-2 dropped 14 bunker-buster bombs, hitting targets at Fordow and other sites. This was the first time the GBU-57 bomb was used in combat. The B-2 will soon be replaced by the B-21. (PC: @StevesSimStation/Youtube.com and AFP)

Russia said it is ready to help Iran in its conflict with Israel, but did not say how. A Kremlin spokesperson said support will depend on what Iran needs. Russian President Vladimir Putin met Iran’s Foreign Minister in Moscow. Putin called the US and Israeli attacks on Iran “unprovoked aggression.” He promised support for the Iranian people. Iran thanked Russia and said it is defending its land and sovereignty. The US recently bombed three nuclear sites in Iran—Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow—after Israel's earlier strikes. Russia also offered to mediate, but said further help depends on Iran’s request. (PC: Reuters)

Iran launched six missiles at US bases in Qatar on Monday, shortly after Qatar shut its airspace due to rising threats. This followed US airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan—over the weekend. Explosions were reported over Doha, with videos showing missiles being intercepted. The US embassy in Qatar advised citizens to stay indoors. Qatar is home to Al Udeid Air Base, a key site for US military operations. Iran had warned of strong retaliation. US officials say more attacks could happen soon. Tensions continue to grow, raising fears of a larger conflict in the region.

US President Donald Trump urged the Department of Energy to take immediate steps to keep oil prices low amid soaring tensions following US strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites. Posting on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Everyone, keep oil prices down, I’m watching!” and added, “Drill, baby, drill—I mean now.” Energy Secretary Chris Wright responded, “We’re on it!” Oil prices had surged to a five-month high before slipping to $76.10 per barrel. Experts remain uncertain about what actions the department can take immediately. Trump’s message comes as global markets brace for potential disruption in oil flow from the Middle East.

Iran could launch retaliatory attacks within 48 hours after the US bombed its nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan, Reuters reported, quoting US officials. President Donald Trump confirmed the strikes on Truth Social, calling it a “historic moment” and urging Iran to “end the war.” The US dropped bunker-buster bombs and claimed the facilities were “completely obliterated.” Trump warned of stronger future strikes if Iran resists peace. Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei condemned the attacks, calling Israel’s role a “big mistake.” The US has now officially entered Israel’s conflict with Iran, escalating tensions across the Middle East.

Amid escalating tensions in West Asia following US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites, six supertankers made a U-turn from the Strait of Hormuz, raising concerns over global oil supply. Two of the vessels—Coswisdom Lake and South Loyalty—briefly turned back before re-entering the strait. The strategic waterway handles 20% of the world’s oil shipments. Shipping firms remain cautious, with Japan reducing transits and Greece advising its fleet to avoid the region. The sudden movements reflect growing fear of Iranian retaliation, especially after Tehran vowed a response to the US strikes. Disruption in this vital route could spark global energy instability.

A suspected Israeli drone strike has targeted Tehran’s infamous Evin prison, a symbol of Iran’s “hostage diplomacy” and political repression. The attack reportedly hit the guard towers, administrative section, and courtroom of the prison, which houses dual nationals and political detainees under the control of Iran's Revolutionary Guard. Sources say the strike is both tactical and symbolic, aimed at undermining Iran’s narrative of control. Evin, sanctioned by the US and EU, is infamous for human rights abuses. The strike has exposed vulnerabilities in Iran’s internal security and painted the regime as increasingly fragile before its own people and the world. (PC: News18)
