A large-scale military operation has been launched by the US and Israel against Iran, expanding into a multi-front conflict across the Middle East. On the second day of operations, Israel intensified its attacks on Tehran and Beirut, while General Caine indicated that the deployment of more U.S. forces would lead to expected casualties. The situation has prompted various reactions domestically and internationally, with Trump outlining four objectives for the operation amid widespread protests. As Iranian-backed militias join the fray, the attacks threaten to engulf neighboring Lebanon. The conflict continues to escalate with airstrikes from both US and Israeli forces, leading to retaliatory actions from Tehran and further strain on international law.
