The tension in West Asia escalates as the IRGC declare a deadly hunt for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, branding him a "child-killing criminal" and vowing to "eliminate him if alive." Footage released by the IRGC shows precision drone strikes allegedly targeting US military bases across UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan, intensifying fears of a broader conflict. As the war enters its sixteenth day, rumours about Netanyahu&rsquo;s whereabouts have gone viral after he missed a key military briefing earlier this week, with viewers questioning a March 12 video that hinted at possible AI manipulation. Political commentators, including Candace Owens, have raised concerns over Netanyahu`s sudden disappearance, fueling speculation and panic in global media circles.

The Strait of Hormuz, the world&rsquo;s most critical oil chokepoint is once again at the center of a rapidly escalating geopolitical confrontation. In a dramatic escalation of the Iran crisis, US President Donald Trump has called on major global powers to deploy warships alongside the United States in the Strait of Hormuz to ensure the strategic waterway remains open. The move comes after Iran&rsquo;s leadership signaled plans to shut down the strait, a vital corridor through which nearly a fifth of the world&rsquo;s oil supply moves every day. Trump announced the push for a multinational naval presence, urging countries including China, France, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom to send ships to the region. WATCH

A missile attack has struck the United States Embassy compound in Baghdad, sending smoke rising from the heavily fortified Green Zone in the Iraqi capital. Security sources said the projectile landed within the embassy perimeter and hit a helipad inside the compound, damaging part of the facility&rsquo;s air defense system. The attack marks the second time the US Embassy in Baghdad has been targeted since the regional war began on February 28. Iraq has once again become a key battleground in the conflict between Iran and the United States. Iranian-aligned militia groups have launched attacks on US bases in the region, while US forces have carried out strikes on pro-Iran groups.

US-Iran war has taken a dramatic turn after U.S. strikes targeted military facilities on Kharg Island, the strategic hub that handles the majority of Iran&rsquo;s crude oil exports. Kharg Island sits in the Persian Gulf and serves as the primary export terminal for roughly 85&ndash;90&#37 of Iran&rsquo;s oil shipments, making it one of the most important energy nodes in the global oil supply chain.&nbsp;US President Donald Trump says U.S. forces &ldquo;obliterated&rdquo; military targets on the island while warning that Iran&rsquo;s oil infrastructure could become the next target if tensions escalate.

Amid the Oil crisis due to ongoing Iran war, two LPG tankers bound for India have successfully crossed the Strait of Hormuz. The development came shortly after Iran&rsquo;s Ambassador to India Mohammad Fathali signaled that Indian vessels could receive safe passage through the critical shipping route. The envoy described India as a friend and highlighted the longstanding relationship between the two countries, saying Iran and India share common interests in the region. The development also comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian about the escalating conflict in West Asia and emphasized the need for safe energy supply routes and protection of Indian citizens.

Amid the Iran war, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth held a major press briefing at the Pentagon addressing the escalating war with Iran. During the briefing, Hegseth claimed that Iran&rsquo;s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was wounded and possibly disfigured during recent US-Israeli strikes. Hegseth also mocked Iran&rsquo;s leadership, saying senior officials have gone underground and are hiding as military pressure increases. He questioned why Khamenei&rsquo;s first address after taking power was delivered through a television anchor instead of appearing publicly. The US Defense Secretary also addressed concerns about a potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world&rsquo;s most critical oil shipping routes, saying measures are being taken to ensure global energy flows remain stable.

Amid the Iran war, Dubai&rsquo;s International Financial Centre witnessed a security scare after debris from an intercepted Iranian drone sparked a fire on the facade of a building in the district. Authorities confirmed that the drone was successfully intercepted and the incident caused only minor damage, with no injuries reported. However, thick smoke rising from the area triggered security alerts across Dubai&rsquo;s financial hub. The incident comes amid escalating tensions in the Middle East after Iran threatened to target economic and financial centres linked to the United States and Israel. The IRGC had warned that banks and technology infrastructure connected to US and Israeli entities could become new targets in the conflict.

A major aviation incident has unfolded in the West Asia after a US Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker crashed in western Iraq during an active military mission. The aircraft, a Boeing-built KC-135 aerial refueling tanker, was operating as part of Operation Epic Fury, supporting long-range combat aircraft with critical mid-air refueling capability when the crash occurred. According to US military officials, the tanker was flying in formation with another aircraft during the mission when the incident happened. The second aircraft in the formation reportedly landed safely, while the KC-135 went down in a remote area of western Iraq. The fate of the crew remains unclear, and search and rescue teams have been deployed to the crash site as the US military works urgently to determine whether any survivors are present. WATCH
