The West Asia crisis has escalated following Iranian retaliatory strikes on Israel and multiple U.S. military bases across the Gulf. In a significant development, Kuwaiti air defenses mistakenly shot down three U.S. F-15 fighter jets in a friendly fire incident; all six pilots ejected safely. Concurrently, an Iranian drone struck the UK’s RAF Akrotiri base in Cyprus, while Israel retaliated against Hezbollah by killing its intelligence chief, Hussein Makled, in Beirut. Consequently, the Lebanese government announced a total ban on Hezbollah’s military activities. U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth clarified that ‘Operation Epic Fury’ aims to dismantle Iran’s nuclear and missile infrastructure rather than engage in an endless war. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed solidarity with Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, emphasizing the safety of Indian nationals. The conflict has caused severe economic disruption, with global markets declining and major hubs like Dubai International Airport facing limited operations. Iranian media reports indicate a rising civilian death toll, including over 120 schoolgirls, as regional tensions continue to intensify.
