Iran-Israel War Live Updates: Iran’s Armed Forces Chief of Staff Killed, Claims Israel

As the Iran-Israel conflict enters its fifth consecutive day, hostilities have intensified with fresh missile launches detected from Iran, according to the Israeli army. Both nations continue to exchange threats of unprecedented attacks, fueling fears of a wider regional escalation.

At least 224 people in Iran and 24 in Israel have been killed so far, with over 1,700 injured across both countries due to missile and drone strikes.

Key Developments:

• The Israeli Air Force struck Iran’s state-run broadcaster IRIB in Tehran, targeting it during a live broadcast. Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz declared that Iranian “propaganda” will be “made to disappear.”

• Katz also directly threatened Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, saying Israel would “strike everywhere” against the “Iranian director.”

• Former U.S. President Donald Trump urged American citizens to leave Tehran immediately and voiced strong support for Israel at the G7 Summit, which he left early citing urgent reasons.

• Iranian air defences reportedly intercepted an Israeli strike on a gas field shared with Qatar.

• Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu called on the Iranian people to resist their “weak regime,” stating, “Israel stands with you.”

The White House has stated that U.S. forces in the Middle East remain on defensive footing, closely monitoring the rapidly evolving situation.
