US President Donald Trump has claimed that Iran has 'lost' and 'surrendered' to its Middle Eastern neighbors, but Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian has vowed to avenge the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran's neighboring countries have been targeted by intense Iranian fire, while the US and Israel have launched a series of airstrikes on Iranian-linked targets across the region.
The conflict has resulted in significant casualties, with over 1,230 people killed in Iran, over 200 in Lebanon, and around a dozen in Israel.
The US has increased its military involvement, striking over 3,000 Iranian targets in the past week, including Revolutionary Guard headquarters and missile sites.
Global tensions are growing, with Russia providing Iran with information to target American warships and aircraft, and the UN Secretary-General warning of a broader regional catastrophe.
A Pakistani man with alleged links to Iran has been convicted in the US for plotting to assassinate President Trump and other American leaders.
