The US military’s Operation Epic Fury against Iran has escalated, with initial strikes reportedly exceeding the intensity of the Iraq War’s opening campaign. Amid ongoing conflict, global markets are unsettled, with over 20,000 flight cancellations. Iran has claimed 787 casualties, including many civilians, while the capital, Tehran, has largely emptied as residents flee. Tensions are also rising in Lebanon, where Israel targets Hezbollah in response to retaliatory attacks following the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
