US-Israeli Attack on Iran: Missile Strikes, Explosions in the Gulf, and Threats of New Strikes

The crisis in the Middle East is dangerously escalating following the death of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, in a US-Israeli military operation. Iran responded with missile attacks and drone strikes against targets in Israel and US military installations, while explosions were reported in Gulf countries such as Dubai, Doha, and Manama. US President Trump warned of a strong response in the event of a new attack, while the Revolutionary Guards threatened with “severe punishment.” Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu stated that Israel would strike thousands of targets in Iran. The crisis has already caused flight cancellations and has put Cyprus on alert, with the National Security Council convening.
