The joint US-Israel war against Iran has entered its fourth week, with over 1,400 people reported killed in Iran, including 204 children. Iran has retaliated by launching missiles and drones at US and Israeli bases, warning Western and Gulf nations that global shipping and energy infrastructure are at risk. Millions of Iranians marked Eid al-Fitr and Nowruz under the shadow of war, while explosions were reported in Tehran and nearby areas.

The United States has said it is considering a gradual de-escalation but not a ceasefire, and the United Kingdom has allowed its bases to be used for strikes on Iran. Iran fired two ballistic missiles toward the US-UK base in Diego Garcia and warned that British citizens could be endangered. Gulf states including Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the UAE reported intercepting Iranian missiles and drones, while Israel faced multiple attacks causing damage across central and northern regions.

The conflict has driven Brent crude prices to $112.19 per barrel, raising fears of a global economic slowdown. The US has partially eased sanctions on Iranian oil to stabilize supply, though Tehran denied having extra oil to sell. Maritime authorities warned that threats in the Gulf and Strait of Hormuz remain extremely severe.
