What we know on day 23 of the US and Israel’s war with Iran

Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has prompted over 20 countries to coordinate maritime security amid escalating US and Israeli military strikes.

  • On Sunday, US President Donald Trump gave Tehran 48 hours to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, threatening to 'hit and obliterate' Iran's power plants as missiles struck Arad and Dimona.
  • Iran has effectively blocked the Strait of Hormuz for weeks, disrupting navigation, while the United Arab Emirates and Australia joined a 22-nation statement to safeguard maritime traffic.
  • The Israeli military said it launched simultaneous 'wide-scale' waves of strikes on Iran and Hezbollah this weekend, hitting more than 200 targets including missile storage compounds and key Hezbollah command centers; a missile strike on Dimona injured several and damaged a nuclear program building.
  • Humanitarian figures show heavy civilian harm in Iran and Lebanon, with arrests inside Iran; more than 18,000 injured and 1,330 killed in Iran, over 1,000 dead and 1 million displaced in Lebanon.
  • The UK denounced what it called 'Iran's reckless attacks' after missiles targeted Diego Garcia, while United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations reported a blast near a bulk carrier off the UAE coast.
