Tehran: The United States and Israel are determined to completely destroy Iran through continuous attacks, but Iran has also expressed its determination to fight the war with all its might. The cycle of attacks and counter-attacks from both sides is ongoing. According to the latest information, while Israel has attacked the Iranian President's house, Iran has also launched ballistic missiles at Jerusalem. The war has put the Gulf countries in a difficult situation. The worrying thing is that around 800 people have been killed in the US and Israeli attacks, and hundreds have been injured. Similarly, hundreds of casualties are being claimed in Iranian attacks as well. Let's take a look at the latest updates...
Israel has attacked the Iranian President's house. According to the news coming in, Israel has also carried out an air strike on the building of Iran's Supreme National Security Council. After the latest ballistic missile attack by Iran, sirens have started ringing in Jerusalem and surrounding areas. Citizens in the areas where sirens are ringing have been instructed to stay in shelter homes until further notice. The IDF says it is working to intercept the missiles.
The Iranian Red Crescent Society says that at least 787 people have been killed in the US-Israeli air strikes in Iran so far. Hundreds of people have been injured, who are being treated in various hospitals.
As the fighting intensifies in the Middle East, the United States has issued a statement saying it cannot evacuate its citizens from Israel. The US Embassy in Jerusalem has asked all US government employees and their families to take shelter in their homes and surroundings until further orders.
Iran attacked the US Embassy in Riyadh with a drone early on Tuesday and targeted several other locations in the Middle East. According to the Saudi Defense Ministry, there have been reports of minor fires and damage from two drone attacks. The embassy has appealed to Americans to stay away from the compound.
According to a Fox News report, the US Central Command says that the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil supplies, is not closed. Despite Iranian officials' statements, the US has claimed that the Strait of Hormuz is open. On the other hand, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has once again said that it has closed the Strait of Hormuz.
After an earthquake in Iran, questions are being raised on social media about whether it was an Iranian nuclear test. This is because Iran's nuclear sites are being attacked in the war. However, experts and the USGS have clarified that the 4.3-magnitude earthquake is not like a nuclear test. Nuclear tests usually have higher intensity and different patterns. It is also worth noting that the area where the earthquake occurred is known for earthquakes in Iran. There are several small tremors here throughout the year.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has spoken to Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi over the phone. China has said that it supports Iran in defending its sovereignty, security, territorial integrity, and national dignity. China also supports Iran in maintaining its legitimate rights and interests. China has appealed to the US and Israel to immediately stop military action, prevent further escalation, and prevent the conflict from spreading to the Middle East region.
India has advised its citizens in Iran to exercise extreme caution and stay indoors as much as possible, as the situation has deteriorated in the wake of the latest military attacks by the US and Israel. The Indian Embassy in Tehran said, "Keep an eye on Indian news, stay alert according to the situation, and wait for further instructions from the Indian Embassy."
