It was Day 38 of the West Asia conflict and there’s still no sign of it cooling off. Missiles and explosions continue to fill the skies over Tehran, Jerusalem, and parts of the Gulf, as both sides keep firing back.
What’s going on: The situation is heating up even more. Just ahead of a key Tuesday deadline, US President Donald Trump warned that Iran could be ‘taken out’ in a single night, hinting that a major strike could happen very soon.
He added that the war could end quickly, but only if certain conditions are met. At the same time, Iran isn’t backing down.
Tehran has rejected a US-backed ceasefire proposal and instead sent its own response through Pakistan.
Rather than a temporary pause, Iran is pushing for a permanent end to the conflict, laying out a broader 10-point plan that includes regions like Lebanon and Gaza, along with guarantees that fighting won’t restart.
India, meanwhile, is staying actively involved. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has spoken with leaders in Iran and Qatar, as diplomatic efforts continue alongside the escalating conflict.
