US-Israel & Iran WAR LIVE Updates: War Erupts In West Asia; US-Israel Launch Joint Raids, Iran Hits US Airbases

In a dramatic escalation, Israel and the United States have launched a joint preemptive strike on Tehran, targeting multiple locations in the Iranian capital. The Pentagon has named the operation "Epic Fury." Among the sites hit are areas near the offices of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, who was reportedly moved to a secure location outside the city.

In retaliation, Iran has fired missiles at Israel and attacked a U.S. Navy base in Bahrain. Explosions have been heard in several regional capitals, including Abu Dhabi, Doha, and Kuwait, further amplifying the crisis. Massive blasts were reported across Doha, Qatar, while Kuwait also experienced explosions amid the escalating conflict.

As tensions soar, the UAE has closed its airspace, and Iran has warned it will target all U.S. bases within its reach. Both Israel and the U.S. have stated their aim to dismantle Iran's “terror regime,” signaling a broader confrontation in the region. The situation remains highly volatile, with international implications.
