Crisis on Middle East it further escalated after the United States carried out new military strikes on targets in Iran, and Tehran responded with missile and drone attacks on American military bases in the region.
According to available information, the US military targeted Iran's radar systems, air defenses and command centers along the country's southern coast, saying it was a "proportionate response" after the incident in the Strait of Hormuz in which a US military helicopter was shot down.
Iran then retaliated, launching drones and missiles at US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan. The authorities of several countries activated anti-aircraft defenses, while some missiles were intercepted before they reached their targets.
At the same time, tensions are further fueled by Israeli military operations in Lebanon. The Israeli strikes on the Tire area have provoked new condemnations and threats from Tehran, which claims that the clashes on the Lebanese front are directly related to the negotiations on a possible truce between Washington and Tehran.
US President Donald Trump said he wants to avoid a full-scale war with Iran, despite new conflicts, stressing that a wider conflict would have huge human and economic consequences. However, the situation on the ground calls into question the sustainability of the fragile truce that has been repeatedly violated in recent months.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on all parties to immediately cease hostilities and prevent the further spread of the conflict that threatens to engulf most of the Middle East.
