The US-Israeli military campaign against Iran has intensified dramatically this week, with strikes now targeting civilian infrastructure—a move experts warn could spiral the conflict into uncharted territory. 🌪️
On Thursday, US President Donald Trump publicly claimed responsibility for bombing Iran’s largest bridge, sharing footage of its collapse on social media. Iranian state media reported 8 deaths and 95 injuries, with Trump vowing to escalate further unless a deal is reached. 💥
This marks a sharp shift from the war’s start in February 2026, when US-Israeli strikes killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Over 15,000 bombing raids since then have left 1,900 dead and 115,000+ civilian structures damaged, per Red Cross estimates. 😢
Global markets are reeling: Oil prices surged after Trump threatened to “bring Iran back to the Stone Ages” in a 2-3 week offensive. Analysts fear retaliatory strikes could disrupt Middle Eastern oil exports, worsening inflation worldwide. 📈
With civilian sites now in the crosshairs, regional stability hangs by a thread. As one security expert put it: “This isn’t just a war—it’s a tinderbox.” 🔥
