Heightened tensions between Israel and Iran have resulted in intensified airstrikes and strategic cyber warfare, raising global concerns about regional stability and the potential for broader conflict. As the conflict now enters its fifth day, Israeli and Iranian forces continue to exchange missile strikes.

President Donald Trump has taken a firm stance, demanding Iran's unconditional surrender amid increasing US military presence in the region. This move coincides with the deployment of more fighter jets, as US concerns over the conflict's escalation grow. However, diplomatic ambiguity persists regarding the US's next steps.

The situation remains precarious with significant implications for global oil markets. Israel claims control over Iranian airspace, and both nations exchange aggressive actions, suggesting ongoing confrontations. Meanwhile, reports indicate that Iran's inner military circle is weakened following Israeli strikes, potentially leading to strategic errors in Tehran's retaliation efforts.
