Iran Us Conflict

The Israeli military conducted air strikes against Iran on Saturday, hitting military bases and missile sites, and other systems in several regions.

Israeli strikes on military targets in Iran are "an exercise of self-defense" following Tehran's ballistic missile attack earlier this month, the United States said.

THAAD, or the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system, is a critical part of the US military's layered air defense systems and adds to Israel's already formidable anti-missile defenses.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said Tuesday that Israel -- and not the United States -- will decide how it will strike back after Iran fired around 200 missiles at his country earlier this month.

Iran said Monday it currently sees "no grounds" for its indirect talks with the United States via intermediary Oman, citing the crisis in the Middle East.

As India continues to expand and enhance its labour-trade-energy engagement with West Asia, it'll have to be careful on the diplomatic front.

In response to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, the Pentagon has announced the deployment of an advanced anti-missile defence system, the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), to Israel.

The Pentagon said Sunday it will deploy a high-altitude anti-missile system and its US military crew to Israel to help the ally protect itself from potential Iranian missile attacks.

Gulf states are lobbying Washington to stop Israel from attacking Iran's oil sites because they are concerned their own oil facilities could come under fire from Tehran's proxies if the conflict escalates, three Gulf sources told Reuters.

US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris spoke Wednesday with Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu, the White House said, as Israel weighs its response to last week's missile attack by Iran.

The Ministry of External Affairs expressed deep concern over the escalating tensions in West Asia, involving Israel, Iran, and Lebanon, and asserted that "it is important that this conflict doesn't take a wider regional dimension."

Biden told reporters at the White House however that he was not expecting Israel to launch any retaliation for Tehran's missile barrage on Israel before Thursday at least.

The United States and G7 members "unequivocally" condemn Iran's missile attack on Israel, the White House said Wednesday, and are considering new sanctions.

Iran launched a barrage of 181 ballistic missiles at Israel on Tuesday night, triggering nationwide air raid sirens and forcing nearly 10 million Israelis into bomb shelters.

President Joe Biden has ordered the US military to "aid Israel's defence" and shoot down any and all Iranian missiles targeting Israel, the White House said.
