WHY:

The conflict escalated due to U.S. and Israeli airstrikes targeting Iran's military capabilities and nuclear program.

President Trump stated he would not negotiate with Iran without its “unconditional surrender.”

Iran's U.N. ambassador claimed the U.S. and Israel committed acts of aggression against Iran.

HOW:

U.S. and Israeli forces conducted airstrikes targeting Iranian military sites.

Iran launched missile attacks towards Israel, prompting air raid sirens in Jerusalem.

U.S. military campaign includes a planned bombing campaign described as the most intense yet.

Iran's military stated it would target any ships belonging to Israel or the U.S. in response to the conflict.

In a significant escalation of the ongoing conflict, President Trump has declared there will be “no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER,” as U.S. forces and Israel have launched airstrikes targeting Iranian military sites, resulting in over 1,230 deaths in Iran and Lebanon. Tragically, six U.S. troops were killed in a drone strike last Monday, while Iranian state media reported more than 165 fatalities from a school explosion in Minab just days earlier. As the situation intensifies, the price of benchmark U.S. crude oil has surged above $90 per barrel, and the U.S. military campaign against Iran is expected to last four to six weeks.
