The West Asia faces a dramatic escalation as Iran launches ballistic missile strikes targeting Israel and Gulf States, just hours after the US-Iran ceasefire announcement. Air raid sirens blare across Haifa, Tel Aviv, and other key cities, as IDF officers intercept multiple missiles, preventing immediate casualties. Tensions soar as Gulf States including UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain activate missile defense protocols, engaging UAV threats and ensuring regional safety.

Iran has drawn a firm red line, warning of devastating retaliation if its infrastructure is targeted, just as US President Donald Trump signals possible strikes on bridges, power plants and critical assets. In an escalation, Iranian-linked strikes have reportedly hit a Kuwaiti refinery, triggering fires and raising alarm across the Gulf. Tehran has also flagged US- and Israel-linked energy and economic hubs as potential targets, hinting at a much wider conflict footprint. IRGC-linked voices, including Ebrahim Zolfaghari, have warned that any attack on Iran’s infrastructure will be met with far more destructive retaliation across allied territories in the region. WATCH
