Middleeast  (ANN)- The conflict in the Middle East continues to intensify as Donald Trump claimed that the United States had “hit twice” against Iran’s leadership and significantly weakened the country’s naval forces, while Iran insisted that the war could end only if its legal rights are recognized and international guarantees are provided.
Speaking on Wednesday, Trump said the U.S. military had dealt a severe blow to Iranian capabilities and warned that Washington could destroy critical infrastructure in Iran if the conflict escalates further. However, the U.S. president did not provide further details regarding the alleged strikes targeting Iran’s leadership.
Iran’s Conditions for Ending the War
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reiterated that Tehran remains committed to regional peace but outlined three key conditions for ending the war:
Recognition of Iran’s legal rights
Payment of compensation for damages
Strong international guarantees preventing future aggression
Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warned that major attacks on U.S. military bases across the Middle East would continue as long as hostilities persist.

UN Resolution Sparks Controversy

The United Nations Security Council voted on a resolution prepared by the Gulf Cooperation Council calling on Iran to stop attacks against Gulf states.
However, critics noted that the resolution did not address Israeli attacks on Lebanon or Iranian territory, raising accusations of double standards in international diplomacy.

Lebanon Crisis Deepens
Israel continues to bombard Beirut and other parts of Lebanon, triggering a major humanitarian crisis. Reports indicate that more than 800,000 people have been displaced due to the escalating conflict.
Gulf States Intercept Missiles
Several Gulf nations reported intercepting incoming Iranian missiles and drones:
Kuwait
Qatar
Saudi Arabia
United Arab Emirates
Despite these interceptions, two foreign oil tankers were attacked at Al-Faw Port in southern Iraq, further raising concerns about global energy security.

Global Oil Markets Under Pressure
The International Energy Agency announced the release of strategic oil reserves in an effort to stabilize global energy prices as shipping routes in the Gulf face increasing threats.

Attacks on US Bases Continue
Armed groups aligned with Iran reported conducting hundreds of operations since the start of the war.

According to statements released by the Iraqi “Islamic coalition,” at least 291 operations have been carried out so far.
The group claimed that 13 American soldiers were killed and several others injured in attacks on U.S. bases across Iraq and the wider region.
In the past 24 hours alone, 31 attacks involving missiles and drones reportedly targeted U.S. military facilities, including areas near Baghdad International Airport.

Drone Strikes Against Israeli Targets
Iran’s military also announced a large drone operation targeting strategic Israeli military facilities. According to Iranian media, the attacks focused on sites linked to Israel’s intelligence and missile defense systems, including:
Aman
Unit 8200
Green Pine radar system
Naval facilities at Haifa
Military analysts say damage to the Green Pine radar system could significantly weaken Israel’s missile defense network.
Report of US Radar Destruction in Jordan
The Hebrew-language newspaper Maariv reported that the destruction of an advanced U.S. radar installation in Jordan dealt a major blow to American military capabilities supporting Israel’s defense.
The report suggested that recent confrontations have strengthened the position of Iran’s IRGC, which continues to play a central role in coordinating operations across the region.
Growing Regional Crisis
The latest developments highlight a rapidly widening regional conflict involving multiple states, proxy forces, and strategic infrastructure. With attacks continuing across Iraq, Israel, Lebanon, and the Gulf, fears are growing that the war could expand into a broader confrontation affecting global trade, energy supplies, and international security.
