Israel Iran war

US President Donald Trump will address the nation on the Iran conflict, with the White House confirming a key update on escalating tensions.

Israel confirms killing of Iranian commander Gholamreza Soleimani in targeted strikes, raising tensions and signalling a major escalation in the region.

The White House confirmed President Donald Trump approved a temporary waiver allowing India to purchase Russian oil to stabilise global energy markets.

Iran has shut the Strait of Hormuz, warning oil vessels against transit. Crude prices and shipping costs have surged amid escalating tensions in West Asia.

The strikes followed Hezbollah’s claim of retaliation for the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, heightening fears of a wider regional conflict.

Operation Shield of Judah saw Israel carry out preventive strikes on Iran, with reports indicating areas near Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s offices were hit.

Amid fears of a wider regional conflict in the Middle East, several US and international airlines, including Air India, have suspended flights to and from Israel.
