The devastating US-Israel war against Iran has entered its fifth consecutive day today with no signs of ceasefire as the death toll continues to rise and the conflict engulfs more nations across the Middle East. The war is now causing a massive global energy crisis affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide.
Death Toll Crosses 1,045
The death toll from the US-Israeli attacks has now stood at 1,045. Multiple locations across Iran continue to be bombarded as Tehran carries out retaliatory attacks across the entire region. Explosions have been heard in different parts of the Iranian capital, and Iranian state television showed the rubble of a building in central Tehran. The holy city of Qom and several other cities were also targeted.
Israel Launches 10th Wave of Attacks
Israel's air force says it dropped more than 1,200 munitions across 24 of Iran's 31 provinces over the past day in its joint attack with the US. The Israeli military confirmed a broad wave of strikes targeted internal security command centers in Tehran, as well as missile launchers and other military systems.
Dubai Airport Shut — Middle East Aviation Paralyzed
In a massive blow to global aviation, Dubai International Airport — one of the world's busiest airports — has been shut down after Iranian attacks caused significant damage. The attacks shut down several major airport hubs in the Middle East, including Dubai's international airport. The airport and the emirate's famed Burj Al Arab hotel were damaged in Iranian attacks. Other projectiles also hit airports in Abu Dhabi and Kuwait. Qatar Airways has also grounded all flights indefinitely.
6 US Soldiers Killed
Six US service members are reported to have been killed in Iranian counterattacks. Four died in a drone strike in Kuwait. President Trump acknowledged the losses, saying more casualties are likely before the conflict ends.
Strait of Hormuz — Global Oil Crisis
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz continues to send shockwaves through global energy markets. About 20% of the world's liquefied natural gas is shipped through the Strait. Iranian strikes also hit Ras Laffan, the world's largest LNG export plant in Qatar, and state-owned QatarEnergy has shut down LNG production.
Maersk Suspends Cargo
Shipping company Maersk has suspended all cargo in and out of seven Middle Eastern nations until further notice. This is expected to cause severe supply chain disruptions across Europe and Asia in the coming weeks.
Americans Evacuating Middle East
The US State Department has urged all American citizens to leave the Middle East immediately. Secretary of State Rubio said the State Department has been helping Americans evacuate from the Middle East, using military, commercial and chartered flights, with 9,000 Americans having already left the region.
Impact on India
The ongoing conflict has serious implications for India. Oil prices have surged dramatically due to the Strait of Hormuz closure. India imports over 85% of its oil needs through the Persian Gulf. Higher oil prices are expected to push up petrol and diesel prices in India in the coming days. The Indian government has asked all Indian nationals in Gulf countries to remain vigilant and register with the Indian Embassy in their respective countries immediately.
What Happens Next?
President Trump has said the war could last four to five weeks. The United Nations Security Council continues emergency sessions but no ceasefire agreement has been reached. World leaders including those from China, Russia, and the European Union are calling for an immediate end to hostilities. The world watches anxiously as this conflict threatens to reshape the entire geopolitical landscape of the Middle East and beyond.
