Israel-Iran War Tensions Live Updates: The conflict between Israel and Iran entered its eleventh day on Monday. Tensions between the two Middle Eastern nations began when Israel launched 'Operation Rising Lion' on June 13, targeting Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, military bases, and senior commanders.

In response, Iran initiated its military operation, named Operation 'True Promise 3', launching drone and missile attacks against Israeli targets. 

Tensions escalated further in the region after US on Saturday carried out 'Operation Midnight Hammer,' bombing three Iranian nuclear facilities—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. US attacked Iran as it has always opposed Tehran possessing a nuclear weapons programme.

Condemning the strikes, Iran stated it "reserves all options" to defend itself.

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Australian PM Anthony Albanese, Japan's Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya have extended support US over the strike. 

The ongoing conflict has raised concerns about the security of the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial chokepoint separating Oman and Iran. With 20 million barrels of oil transported each day, any disruption in the crucial chokepoint of the Strait of Hormuz could send global energy prices soaring. The security of the strait is crucial as Iran has repeatedly threatened to close it in retaliation for Western actions.
