US-Israel-Iran War Live Updates: Follow real-time developments as the United States, Iran and regional powers remain locked in a tense standoff centred around the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical energy corridors. Track the latest military activity, diplomatic manoeuvres, regional security alerts and economic fallout as instability spreads across the Gulf and neighbouring conflict zones.
The Gulf crisis is intensifying as tensions between Iran, the US, and regional allies grow around the Strait of Hormuz — a critical global oil shipping route. Qatar warned Iran not to use the strait as leverage, while Kuwait and the UAE reported intercepting Iranian drones. Iran threatened retaliation against US bases and allied ships if its vessels are targeted.
At the UN, Iran rejected a US-backed resolution aimed at securing maritime navigation through Hormuz, accusing Washington of using international institutions to justify pressure. Meanwhile, the US and Gulf allies continue pushing for diplomatic negotiations despite rising military activity.
The wider region is also becoming more unstable, with ongoing Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon and increasing missile, drone, and shipping attacks raising fears of a broader multi-front conflict. Oil prices and shipping insurance costs are climbing due to concerns over disruptions to global trade and energy supplies.
Although diplomatic efforts between Washington and Tehran are still ongoing, distrust remains high, and the situation is seen as a highly dangerous geopolitical flashpoint with strong potential for rapid escalation.
