The conflict in the Middle East has escalated with Israeli strikes across at least four countries, including a deadly attack in Lebanon killing over 40 people and a drone strike near Dubai airport that temporarily halted flights. Iran's president has apologised to Gulf nations and pledged to suspend attacks on neighbouring countries, though US President Donald Trump has vowed to intensify military action as American casualties mount. Israeli forces continue operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon while strikes have hit Iranian oil refineries and desalination plants.
