Tensions between the US and Iran have sharply escalated as both nations engage in significant military exchanges. Following a series of US strikes targeting Iranian military infrastructure, Iran retaliated by launching missiles and drones at American bases and allies in the Gulf region, marking the largest exchange of fire since prior months. Iran has accused the US of committing war crimes, particularly in a controversial strike that reportedly killed civilians at a wedding celebration. In response, US military actions have inflicted heavy casualties and raised fears of a wider conflict. With both sides trading fire and issuing warning threats, the situation continues to deteriorate, moving towards a potential full-scale war.
