The conflict in the Middle East is rapidly expanding across the region as the US-Israeli-led war against Iran enters its sixth day.
Images released Thursday showed destruction across Tehran after nearly a week of attacks on Iran’s capital.
Iran has retaliated by launching a wave of missiles and drones at Israel, in addition to attacking US allies in the region.
Explosions have been reported in Qatar and Bahrain, while oil-rich Azerbaijan said it was attacked by two Iranian drones and Tehran claimed naval fighters had attacked a US oil tanker in the northern Persian Gulf.
US President Donald Trump has said the war against Iran could last four to five weeks, but warned that the campaign could also “last much longer.”
