Intense US–Israel–Iran clashes across air, land, sea, and cyber

This cluster tracks rapidly escalating military operations as the US and Israel conduct large-scale airstrikes—such as Operation Epic Fury and reported B‑2 attacks on Iranian nuclear sites—while Iran retaliates with missile and drone barrages across Israel and the Gulf, plus cyber and infrastructure attacks. Updates cover claims of thousands of IRGC casualties, US air supremacy, ongoing Israeli ground moves in Lebanon, and defensive actions by Gulf states. Commentators and officials debate the prospect of US ground troops entering Iran, even as Washington insists Iran’s military capacity is heavily degraded. The situation matters because it risks a region-wide war, threatens global energy and shipping routes, and could reshape broader US–Middle East security dynamics.
