Capital Siege: Israel Launches Massive Strikes on Central Tehran, Grid Collapse Reported

On Day 31 of the Middle East war, the conflict continues to intensify with no signs of stopping. The United States and Israel are carrying out heavy strikes on Iran, while Iran remains defiant and continues strong retaliation across the region. Israeli airstrikes on central Tehran caused massive destruction and blackouts in Tehran, Karaj, and Alborz provinces. Meanwhile, Donald Trump stated that the U.S. is considering seizing Kharg Island and has deployed around 50,000 troops in the region. Iran, on the other hand, is planning stricter control over the Strait of Hormuz and has warned of strong retaliation if ground operations begin. Turkey has also indicated support for Iran if Kurdish forces join the conflict. Iran has expanded its counterattacks, targeting Gulf countries, including missile strikes on Dubai and bombing an aluminum plant in Abu Dhabi. Civilian casualties have also been reported, including the death of an Indian national in Kuwait.
