The geopolitical landscape is increasingly tense as hostilities broaden in the Middle East.
Israeli warplanes conducted extensive bombing raids on both Beirut and Tehran, with Iran launching retaliatory operations against Israel and Gulf nations allied with the US. Intelligence suggests Russian involvement, assisting Iran with strategic information to counter US forces in the region.
Amid this escalation, the US has sanctioned a USD 151 million arms deal to supply Israel with advanced munitions, bypassing congressional scrutiny. Meanwhile, three casualties were reported from Israeli attacks in Lebanon. The conflict continues to claim lives, including six US soldiers, as diplomatic avenues appear dim.
