US-Israel-Iran War Live: The war between the U.S.-Israel and Iran entered its eighth day, with high-intensity strikes spreading across the Middle East. The situation remains volatile, with reports of high-intensity Israeli airstrikes emerging from multiple sites in Iran and Lebanon. Iran has also launched several retaliatory strikes against U.S. and Israeli facilities in West Asia.

On day 7, Tehran launched fresh missile strikes on the military bases of the two countries in West Asia.

Israeli forces also struck Hezbollah sites in Lebanon, where eight people were killed. Lebanon was dragged into the conflict on Monday, when Iran-backed Hezbollah attacked Israel in retaliation for the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Over 1,230 people have died in Iran since the start of the war. In Lebanon, over 70 people have been killed, about a dozen in Israel have died, and six U.S. troops have also been killed.

Situation In The Gulf

In Dubai, UAE, residents on Friday received ‘missile threat’ alert on their mobile phones. The U.S. Embassy in Kuwait shut down amid Iranian strikes on the Gulf nation. The war in the region broke out last Saturday, following the coordinated U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran.

In response, Tehran launched a series of missile and drone attacks, targeting the Gulf nations hosting the U.S. and Israeli facilities.
