US forces struck Iranian missile, drone, and radar sites after Washington accused Tehran of attacking a commercial ship in the Strait of Hormuz, while Iran's Revolutionary Guards retaliated against US positions in the Gulf.
Israel struck IRGC military targets in Tehran on June 13, 2026, hours after Iran fired ballistic missiles at the Ramat David air base, ignoring a public appeal for restraint from President Trump.
The Israel Defence Forces confirmed missiles were launched from Iran toward Israeli territory and warned a third barrage may follow. India has advised its citizens to leave Iran as the direct military exchange between Iran and Israel escalates rapidly.
US forces shot down Iranian drones near the Strait of Hormuz and struck radar sites in Iran, prompting Iran's Revolutionary Guards to fire seven ballistic missiles at Kuwait and Bahrain. The exchange threatens a ceasefire in place since April 8 and keeps a critical global energy chokepoint at risk.
US forces shot down four Iranian drones and struck a control station near Bandar Abbas; Iran's Revolutionary Guard responded by targeting a US airbase. Oil prices jumped more than 3 percent as the exchange threatened the fragile ceasefire in place since early April.
US military strikes on Iran, including the downing of four drones and a hit on a control centre in Bandar Abbas, pushed Brent crude up 1.8 percent to $95.95 on Thursday.
US forces have struck southern Iran while military command says it will maintain restraint under an ongoing ceasefire. President Trump separately declared that Iran's enriched uranium will be destroyed, signaling strikes may target nuclear stockpiles with major consequences for regional stability and oil markets.
Saudi Arabia secretly launched multiple retaliatory strikes against Iran during the Middle East war, confirmed by two Western and two Iranian officials. The covert campaign, never publicly acknowledged by Riyadh, signals direct state-on-state conflict beyond what the public record of the war showed.
President Trump is meeting China's Xi Jinping to press Beijing to reduce its support for Iran and help reopen the Strait of Hormuz. China is Iran's largest oil buyer, making its stance critical to both the conflict's trajectory and global energy prices.
Prime Minister Modi has urged Indians to reduce fuel use, overseas travel, and gold purchases as the Middle East conflict threatens India's heavily import-dependent energy supply. A broader war involving Iran could pressure the rupee, widen the trade deficit, and push up domestic fuel prices.
China's April trade data beat forecasts despite risks from the US-Israel war on Iran, which had raised concerns about disruptions to shipping routes and energy imports. The result offers temporary relief but the conflict's trajectory will determine whether the resilience holds.
Israeli attacks on Lebanon have killed at least 2,586 people and wounded over 8,000 since March 2, per local media. Separately, Iran has called US port restrictions "intolerable" as the Trump administration considers further action. No ceasefire talks are reported on either front.
US envoys are heading to Pakistan for talks aimed at finding a diplomatic exit from the conflict with Iran. Iran's defence ministry says Washington is seeking a face-saving way out of what it calls a war quagmire. The outcome could affect oil prices and regional stability.
