Israel launched a fresh wave of airstrikes on Tehran and Beirut as the regional conflict involving Israel, Iran, and Hezbollah entered its seventeenth day, further escalating hostilities across the Middle East. Israeli officials said the strikes targeted Hezbollah command centers in Beirut’s southern suburbs and military-linked infrastructure in Iran, including an aircraft associated with the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei at Tehran’s Mehrabad Airport. The continued attacks come amid expanding Israeli ground operations in southern Lebanon and sustained air campaigns against Iranian-linked targets. Lebanese authorities report hundreds killed and more than 830,000 displaced, while Iranian officials say over 1,400 people have died in strikes since the conflict began on February 28, highlighting the growing humanitarian and regional impact of the war.

U.S. President Donald Trump has called on several major powers — including China, France, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom — to deploy warships to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, as tensions with Iran continue to disrupt global shipping. Trump argued that countries heavily dependent on Middle Eastern oil should help protect the strategic waterway rather than relying solely on the United States. The demand comes after Iranian actions effectively restricted tanker traffic through the strait following U.S.–Israeli strikes on Iran, sending oil prices above $100 per barrel. While Washington is pushing for a multinational naval coalition to escort commercial vessels, none of the named countries had publicly committed warships as of mid-March, leaving the security situation in the critical energy corridor unresolved.
