Continuous, intense explosions heard west of Iran's Tehran - Iranian state media IRNA
Continuous, intense explosions have been heard in the western region of Iran's capital, Tehran, according to Iranian state media IRNA. The escalating conflict between Israel and Iran has resulted in a fifth straight day of military exchanges, with both sides trading strikes. The explosions, which have been ongoing since Friday, have caused significant damage and raised concerns about civilian safety.The Israeli military has claimed to have struck several locations in western Iran, targeting nuclear and military sites. The Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz, announced a "special situation" in Israel, stating that schools would be closed on Friday. He also declared an emergency situation across the country due to Israel's action in Iran [3].
The explosions have been accompanied by a spike in oil prices. Benchmark Brent crude spiked nearly 5% on the news of the attack [1]. The conflict has also led to the evacuation of Israeli and international citizens from the region.
The United States has been preparing for a potential escalation, with the U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, stating that the U.S. is not involved in the strikes against Iran and that its top priority is protecting American forces in the region [1]. However, Rubio also issued a warning to Iran not to target U.S. interests or personnel.
The conflict has also seen the involvement of other countries. India, for instance, has evacuated its students from Tehran, with the Indian government facilitating evacuations for its citizens from the country [4].
The ongoing conflict has raised concerns about the potential economic impact on the region. The Middle East is a major oil producer, and any disruption in oil supply could have significant global implications. Additionally, the conflict could lead to further instability in the region, which could impact global trade and investment.
