Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Sunday claimed it had struck a location of US military in Dubai Marina, signalling a sharp escalation in the widening conflict involving Iran, the United States and Israel. The Middle East has been bearing the brunt, with tensions showing little sign of easing as Washington and Tel Aviv continue coordinated strikes on Iranian targets while Tehran retaliates with waves of missiles and drones.

Iran has asserted that it is prepared to sustain the conflict for up to six months. Meanwhile, after Israel reportedly targeted an Iranian oil storage facility, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that "more surprises" will follow in the coming days.
