Israel Strikes Beirut After Hezbollah Offensive Escalates Regional Conflict
Following the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other senior officials in coordinated U.S. and Israeli strikes, Iran launched missiles at Israel and Gulf Arab states, resulting in casualties including American service members. In retaliation, Israel targeted Beirut, and the U.S. and Israel continued strikes across Iran, hitting military and intelligence sites. The conflict has widened, raising concerns about regional destabilization, though President Trump has indicated a willingness to talk with Iran’s new leadership.
