The US-Israel-Iran conflict has escalated, with Israel launching strikes in Lebanon and Iran retaliating with missile and drone attacks. Former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in the US-Israeli strikes, will be buried in his hometown, Mashhad. The Israeli military has announced that it struck an underground nuclear site in Iran, where scientists were developing a key component for an atomic weapon. The strikes have expanded to other areas, and more than 10 fighters, mostly from Kataeb Hezbollah, have been killed across Iraq since Saturday. The conflict has also forced tens of thousands of people to flee their homes in southern Lebanon, and the US has closed its embassy in Beirut. The situation is further complicated by the involvement of other countries, including Qatar, which has rejected reports of participating in the strikes. The conflict has also impacted global markets, with oil prices soaring and shares slumping. The US has threatened to cut off trade with Spain, which refused to let US planes use its bases to attack Iran. The situation remains fluid, with ongoing strikes and threats of further escalation.
