The Iran-Israel conflict entered its third day with escalating strikes on both sides. Israeli forces targeted Iranian nuclear scientists with car bombings in Tehran while striking the foreign ministry building. Iran responded by calling for an "Islamic Army" to wage war against Israel, warning the country would become "uninhabitable."
Trump held a massive military parade in Washington that sparked nationwide protests, while threatening Iran with retaliation "at levels never seen before" if American bases were targeted. He claimed to have prevented Israel from assassinating Iran's Supreme Leader.
The UK blocked all travel to Israel and deployed additional RAF jets to the Middle East as casualty figures climbed. Iranian media reported 224 dead including children, while Israeli sources claimed Iran's latest missile barrage had failed to land.
By evening, explosions were reported across both Tel Aviv and Tehran as the exchange continued into a third night, with Netanyahu warning the conflict could lead to "regime change" in Iran.
