Middle east war: latest situation

Here is the latest situation in the Middle East war on Monday:

Israeli attacks on Tehran and Beirut—

The Israeli army launched a “wide-ranging wave of attacks” on the Iranian capital Tehran on Tuesday. At the same time, Israel has launched attacks on Hezbollah targets in the Lebanese capital Beirut. The Israeli army said this.

The AFP news agency reported this from Paris.

Attack on the US embassy in Baghdad—

A security official said that a drone and rocket attack was launched on the US embassy in Baghdad early Tuesday.

He said, “Three drones and four rockets hit the embassy, ​​​​of which at least one drone crashed inside.”

Missile attack on house in Baghdad—

A missile attack on a house in the Iraqi capital Baghdad killed four people.

Initial reports said two of the dead were “Iranian advisors” to a Tehran-backed group.

Iraq has long been a proxy war between the US and Iran. The country was embroiled in the conflict after Iran-backed groups claimed daily attacks on US interests.

Trump calls for help on the Strait of Hormuz—

US President Donald Trump has sought help from allies to secure the Strait of Hormuz. However, European countries have objected to a possible operation to reopen the vital waterway, which has been closed by Iran.

About a fifth of the world’s crude oil passes through the strait. Trump urged countries to act “with swift and strong determination.”

Israeli President calls on Europe—

Israeli President Isaac Herzog told AFP that Europe should support Israel’s fight against Hezbollah as it launches a ground operation in Lebanon.

Lebanon was drawn into the conflict after Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in a US-Israeli strike on March 2, when Hezbollah attacked Israel.

"Europe should support any effort to eliminate Hezbollah," Herzog said.

Netanyahu's greetings on Nowruz —

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has greeted Iranians on the occasion of Nowruz, the Persian New Year.

"This year's festival has a special significance," he said. "I take this opportunity to wish you a happy Nowruz — the beginning of a new hope in the year of freedom," he said.

Baghdad hotel drone attack —

A luxury hotel used by foreign diplomats in Baghdad's fortified Green Zone was set on fire by a drone strike on Monday. A rocket attack on the US embassy was repelled shortly after.

UAE oil field fire —

A drone strike has set fire to a major oil field in the United Arab Emirates, authorities say.

Iranian drone and missile attacks continue in the Gulf region.

Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi authorities said work is underway to put out the fire at the Shah oil field. No casualties were reported.

Hezbollah attack —

Hezbollah has claimed attacks targeting Israeli troops and vehicles in at least three towns along the Lebanese border. Earlier, Israel announced the launch of a limited ground operation in Lebanon.

Kataib Hezbollah commander killed —

The influential Iraqi armed group Kataib Hezbollah said its senior security commander, Abu Ali al-Askari, has been killed.

No details were given about the circumstances of his death.

He also served as the group's spokesman.

Drone attack on Iraqi oil field -

Two drone attacks were carried out on a large oil field in southern Iraq late Monday night.

Oil Ministry spokesman Saheb Bajoun said the attack was carried out by two drones, one of which hit a telecommunications tower. No damage was reported.

Attack on Israeli city -

Hezbollah said it had carried out an attack on the northern Israeli city of Nahariya. Israeli emergency services said one person was injured.

New Iranian leader not known to be alive: Trump

Trump told reporters at the White House that it was not known whether Iran's new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, was alive or not.

"We don't know if he is alive or not," he said.

As a result, there is uncertainty about who will be discussed in Tehran.

More than a million displaced in Lebanon—

Lebanese authorities say more than a million people have been registered as displaced since the start of the Israel-Hezbollah war on March 2.

Ruins at Jerusalem holy sites—

Israeli police say ruins of missiles and missile defense systems have been found at holy sites in Jerusalem’s Old City.

These include the area around the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

Police say the incidents occurred while intercepting missiles fired from Iran toward Jerusalem.

German Chancellor warns—

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz says Israel’s ground operation in Lebanon is ‘the wrong decision’ and will worsen the humanitarian situation.

He added, “We are urgently telling our Israeli friends not to go down this path, it will be wrong.”

UAE Port Suspends Oil Loading—

The UAE’s state-owned energy company, Adnoc Distribution, has suspended oil loading into oil storage tanks at its Fujairah facility.

The decision was taken after multiple attacks, a source said.

Fujairah is a key port where Iran has been carrying out widespread attacks targeting oil storage tanks.
