The war between the United States, Israel and Iran dragged into its 11th day with intense fighting and no resolution in sight. Iran struck oil sites and threatened to seal off the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for 20% of global oil shipments. The U.S. vowed its heaviest air strikes yet, targeting Iranian military assets. Meanwhile, drone and missile attacks hammered the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, killing at least eight people and sparking fires at petrochemical plants. Israel intercepted barrages from Iran and Hezbollah while carrying out its own strikes on Iran and Lebanon. Residents in Tehran described devastating blasts that knocked out power and hit homes, forcing tens of thousands to flee to rural areas. Both tolls climbed to over highest 200 in Iran, nearly 411 on, and a dozen in Israel. Leaders traded fierce threats, with Iran rejecting talks and warning the U.S. President directly.

Hundreds of thousands fled their homes in Lebanon, with over 667,000 registered as displaced.
