The Bird's Eye BriefThe Bird's Eye BriefThe Bird's Eye BriefA military conflict between the US and Iran escalated after the US Navy sank the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena, leading to intensified US-Israel military operations and retaliatory Iranian attacks in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has now adopted a dual strategy, issuing explicit warnings of further military action, including threats to US-linked sites and regional energy infrastructure, while simultaneously proposing five conditions for de-escalation. The conflict has triggered anti-war protests in Tehran and dwindling bipartisan support for Israel in the U.S., raising significant concerns about regional stability, even as the U.S. continues to assert its military dominance.
Sources widely confirm an ongoing military conflict involving the United States and Israel striking targets in Iran, which reportedly began weeks ago. Simultaneously, anti-war protests are occurring in Tehran, with demonstrators burning effigies of US and Israeli leaders, while regime supporters maintain control of streets at night and rallies mourn Iranian casualties.
