Multiple explosions were reported across Tehran as Israel escalated its air campaign, targeting Iranian military and strategic sites in a major intensification of the ongoing conflict. At the same time, Iran launched fresh waves of ballistic missiles and drones across the region, including toward the United Arab Emirates. UAE air defence systems successfully intercepted several incoming threats, with loud blasts reported as interceptions occurred. The widening conflict now spans multiple countries, disrupting energy infrastructure and global oil flows, while raising fears of a broader regional war involving the US and its allies. (PC: X)
