The conflict in West Asia has been escalating since the US and Israel declared war on Iran. The US and Israel continue to bomb Iran’s capital, Tehran, and other cities on the 14th day of the war. Reports indicate that several bombings were heard in Tehran on Thursday night. The Iranian city of Ahvaz was also bombed overnight. US and Israeli strikes forces also bombed Arak and Kashan.

The Israeli strikes military said on Friday that it had struck more than 200 targets in western and central Iran the previous day, including missile launchers and defense systems. The military said fighter jets carried out "20 major strikes" targeting "ballistic missile launchers, defense systems and weapons manufacturing sites."

The number of casualties in Iran is also rising rapidly due to US and Israeli airstrikes. The UN Refugee Agency says that approximately 3.2 million people have been displaced in Iran since the war began on February 28.

Iran has also continued its retaliatory actions, launching missile and drone attacks on US military bases in Israel and the Gulf countries. Meanwhile, Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, issued his first statement since succeeding his father, Ali Khamenei. He stated that the attacks would continue until all US military bases in the Middle East were closed.

The Israeli military is also continuously bombing Lebanon's capital, Beirut. According to a report by the Lebanese National News Agency (NNA), the Israeli military continued to bomb southern Lebanon, killing three people in the town of Ain Ebel. Similarly, three people were killed in an Israeli airstrike in the Tyre district.
