The attacks targeted Iranian military infrastructure and senior leadership, killing Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several senior officials. The US and Israel said that the attack was aimed at weakening Iran’s military capabilities, while Tehran condemned the strikes and retaliated.Iran also responded with missile and drone attacks on Israel and US-linked military facilities across the Gulf, widening the conflict beyond its borders. The fighting also caused many civilian casualties, disrupted air travel and raised concerns about the safety of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, route for global oil supplies. The conflict also affected global oil markets, raising concerns about supplies to countries like India, which depends heavily on oil imports from the region.Story continues below this adA ceasefire announced in April gave a brief pause in the fighting, after a broader agreement in June.
