US Israeli War With Iran, Trump's War Address, Gulf Countries Bear The Brunt

The U.S. and Israel's war against Iran is engulfing the Middle East, prompting Iranian retaliation against countries hosting American military bases and widening the conflict to Lebanon. Three U.S. service members have been killed, and expat cities like Dubai are experiencing missile and drone strikes. While some Iranians celebrate the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, pro-regime rallies also occur as a temporary leadership council forms. Despite Trump's initial justifications for the war, including preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, he indicates a willingness to negotiate, though a top Iranian security official denies this. The conflict's expansion threatens oil supplies, as attacks hit Saudi oil refineries and shut down the Strait of Hormuz, causing oil prices to spike.
