Four days of hell: Explosions across the region; The conflict is spiraling out of control PHOTO/VIDEO

Israel said that “numerous munitions” were dropped today on the presidential office and the Supreme National Security Council in Tehran, just hours after launching new strikes in Lebanon and expanding its ground operation in the country, targeting Hezbollah sites.

Hezbollah fired rockets and drones at Israel following a bombing in which Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed.

In Riyadh, Saudi officials said overnight that two Iranian drones struck the U.S. embassy, causing limited damage. Israeli strikes also continued inside Iran.

The Iranian Red Crescent reported that 787 people have been killed in the U.S.–Israeli operation in Iran. Six American soldiers have been killed since the start of the conflict, according to the United States Central Command. U.S. President Donald Trump has since warned that combat operations will continue “at full force” until all of Washington’s objectives are achieved.

Where have Israel and the U.S. struck?

The Israeli military announced over the weekend extensive joint attacks with the United States, destroying air defense systems in western and central Iran.

Verified video footage from the Iranian capital, Tehran, showed large plumes of smoke rising above the city on Saturday.

The BBC obtained satellite images taken that morning, showing significant damage to part of the Leader’s Residence complex, the office of Ayatollah Khamenei.

The Israeli military said its strikes on Tehran were aimed at gatherings of senior political and security officials.

The BBC has so far verified visual evidence of attacks on 13 different locations in Tehran, and 12 other cities across Iran were also hit.

At least 153 people were killed at a girls’ school in Minab in the south of the country when it was struck by three rockets on Saturday, Iranian state media reported. The BBC was not able to independently verify this information.

Military facilities were targeted in Kermanshah and Tabriz, as well as Iranian naval facilities in Konarak and Bandar Abbas in the south of the country.

Satellite image analysis revealed damage to at least three Iranian missile facilities and the nuclear facility in Natanz Nuclear Facility.

Damage to storage bunkers and other infrastructure is evident in Konarak, Tabriz, and southern Isfahan, while at least three buildings were damaged at the entrance to the underground enrichment complex in Natanz Nuclear Facility.

U.S. President Donald Trump stated that American forces sank 10 Iranian warships and “mostly destroyed” their naval headquarters.

Israel has expanded operations into Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah, a militant group long supported by Iran. On Tuesday evening, Israeli officials said troops had entered Lebanon and were securing “strategic areas” to prevent attacks on Israeli border communities.

This move followed Israel’s announcement on Monday that it was carrying out strikes in both Iran and Lebanon after Hezbollah launched rockets at Haifa overnight.

Israeli airstrikes targeted Hezbollah strongholds in the southern suburbs of Beirut and areas near the city airport, as well as locations in southern Lebanon. Explosions in the city continued into Tuesday morning.

Where did Iran strike?

Iran retaliated with attacks on Israel and U.S. bases in the region, as well as airstrikes on Persian Gulf states.

Saudi officials reported on Tuesday evening that the U.S. embassy in Riyadh was hit by two drones, causing minor damage and a small fire.

New Iranian attacks were reported on a large gas facility in Qatar, where the Ministry of Defense later said it had shot down two Iranian planes, seven missiles, and five drones.

In the United Arab Emirates, which includes the tourist destinations of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, three people were killed and several injured, the country’s Ministry of Defense reported on Sunday.

The Kuwait Ministry of Health reported one death on Sunday. The Ali Al-Salem Air Base was targeted by multiple ballistic missiles, which were successfully intercepted, officials say.

The United States Central Command reported that the country’s military shot down three U.S. combat aircraft on Monday in an “apparent friendly fire incident.” All six crew members safely ejected and were rescued, it said.

In neighboring Iraq, three drones were reportedly shot down on Monday over the airport in Erbil, where U.S.-led coalition troops are stationed.

The Bahrain National Communication Center reported on Saturday that a U.S. Navy Fifth Fleet service center “was subjected to a missile attack.”

Also in Bahrain, a verified video shot from a moving vehicle shows the moment a missile struck. An explosion follows, sending fragments and debris into the air.

On Sunday evening, a drone attack on a U.S. naval base sparked a large fire, a official told the BBC, but there were no reports of casualties.

Four people were injured in Iranian attacks in Bahrain, the official added.

In Saudi Arabia, a fire at the Ras Tanura refinery—operated by the state oil company Aramco—was brought under control on Monday after two drones were intercepted, officials said.

Officials in Jordan, which borders Israel, said their armed forces shot down ballistic missiles targeting its territory.

Oman’s state news agency reported on Sunday that two drones targeted the commercial port of Dukm, injuring one worker.

What happened in Cyprus?

An Iranian drone crashed at RAF Akrotiri at midnight (Sunday 22:00 local time), according to Nikos Christodoulides.

No casualties were reported, and the base suffered “minimal damage,” but the UK Ministry of Defence said family members would be relocated.

On Monday, a government spokesperson in Cyprus said two more drones heading toward RAF Akrotiri were intercepted.

How is the conflict affecting the global economy?

Global oil and gas prices surged sharply on Monday, with producers, insurance companies, and shipping firms affected by the war and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

European gas prices jumped over 30% after the world’s largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) producer, Qatar Energy, announced it was halting production.

Qatar supplies about one-fifth of global LNG reserves.

In the past two days, there have been multiple reports of attacks on ships in the strait.
