Welcome to Firstpost America.
Explosions have been reported across West Asia as the war between Iran, Israel and the United States intensifies. Missile interceptions in Qatar, blasts in Dubai and a fatal incident in Abu Dhabi highlight the widening threat. In Iraq, attacks targeted the US embassy, residential areas and key oil infrastructure. Israel has expanded strikes to Beirut, hitting multiple neighbourhoods, while casualties continue to rise in Lebanon. Inside Iran, fresh explosions were heard in Tehran following heavy bombardment. With tensions disrupting vital shipping routes and energy supplies, oil prices are surging, and global concerns are mounting as the conflict shows no signs of easing.
