The conflict that began after coordinated United States military and Israeli strikes on Iran\u2019s territory, which reportedly killed senior Iranian leaders, has rapidly expanded across the region. Violence has been reported in multiple countries as Iran fires missiles and drones in retaliation.<\/p>\n
Explosions have been reported not just in Israel but also in Gulf cities, including Dubai, Doha, and Manama. The situation led to airspace closures and widespread alert levels across several nations.<\/p>\n
European leaders have strongly criticised the escalating violence. Ursula von der Leyen, head of the European Commission, condemned \u201creckless and indiscriminate attacks by Iran and its proxies against sovereign territories across the region.\u201d She stressed the need to \u201cwork hard to de-escalate and stop the conflict spreading,\u201d highlighting the broader risks to regional stability.<\/p>\n
US and Israeli Targets Hit in Retaliation<\/p>\n
The Iranian Red Crescent Society has reported that at least 555 people have died in Iran due to the US-Israeli campaign to date. Strikes have also targeted infrastructure in Gulf states. In Kuwait, black smoke was seen rising from near the US embassy, prompting warnings for people to stay away.<\/p>\n
The embassy itself has not officially confirmed it was struck, but urged personnel and visitors to shelter in place amid ongoing security warnings.<\/p>\n

Global Diplomatic Reactions<\/p>\n
World leaders and international organisations have expressed concern at the rapid escalation.
