US-Israel-Iran War News Today Latest Updates: The conflict between Iran and Israel entered its 19th day on Wednesday, with both sides intensifying military operations. Saudi Arabia intercepted a ballistic missile near Prince Sultan airbase today. Earlier on Tuesday, several explosions were reported in Dubai and Doha. The US embassy in Baghdad was also targeted in a drone attack the same day.
Further, Iran’s national security chief Ali Larijani and top commander of the IRGC’s Basij force, Gholamreza Soleimani, were killed in an Israeli airstrike. “Under precise intelligence guidance, the Air Force carried out a targeted strike yesterday in the heart of Tehran, eliminating Gholam Reza Soleimani, commander of the Basij unit over the past six years,” Israeli Air Force tweeted.
US President Donald Trump criticised NATO for not helping the United States reopen the Strait of Hormuz, while oil prices eased 1% even as US allies appear reluctant on Trump’s offer.
According to Iran’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani, the US-Israeli attacks on Iran have killed more than 1,300 people, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and top Iranian officials.

Iravani accused the United States and Israel of deliberately targeting civilians by striking “populated residential areas” and “critical civilian infrastructure.”
The US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) has warned that the toll may be even higher, estimating at least 1,858 people have been killed, including both civilians and military personnel.
Meanwhile, at least 773 people have been killed in Israeli attacks on Lebanon since the Iran-backed Hezbollah group launched attacks on Israel, according to the country’s Ministry of Public Health.
