The fifteenth day since the start of military operations brought a new escalation in the Middle East. Jerusalem was hit with a new wave of missile projectiles launched from Iran, while the Israeli air defense system worked at full capacity to neutralize the threats.

US forces carried out precision strikes on Kharg Island, one of Iran's main oil export terminals, and hit over 90 Iranian military installations. Shortly after, a fire broke out at oil facilities in Fujairah following drone attacks, intensifying concerns about global energy supplies.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard warned residents of the United Arab Emirates to leave port vicinities, suggesting possible future strikes. The Strait of Hormuz remains practically blockaded, cutting off around 20 percent of global oil transit.

At the same time, Israeli air forces continued strikes against Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon. Over 770 casualties have been registered in Lebanon, and dozens of medical workers lost their lives in strikes, health authorities reported. UNESCO expressed deep concern about the destruction of historical heritage - 56 museums and historical sites across Iran reported damage.
