A major escalation in the Israel–Iran war saw deadly strikes in northern Israel, with missiles and drones causing casualties and damage as Iran expands its attacks across the region. Israel and the U.S. have responded with intensified airstrikes deep inside Iran, targeting military sites and weapons facilities near Tehran and central Iran. Explosions were reported in Iranian cities amid heavy bombardment. Diplomatic efforts, including a U.S. ceasefire proposal, have been rejected by Tehran, and global oil markets remain volatile as hostilities continue to widen. (PC: X)
