The fourth day of war between U.S.-Israeli forces and Iran brought further escalation of military actions and a tragic toll among military personnel and civilians. The Pentagon officially released the identities of four of the six American soldiers who died as a result of an Iranian attack on a base in Kuwait. Tehran's use of unmanned aerial vehicles to strike installations in a neighboring country demonstrates the determination of the IRGC in confronting the coalition. Intense combat activity has also involved Lebanon, suggesting the conflict is expanding to the entire so-called Axis of Resistance, supported by the Islamic Republic. The situation is complicated by reports of a "friendly fire" incident over Kuwait. Local air defense systems mistakenly shot down three American fighter jets, highlighting the chaos in the region's airspace. Meanwhile, Israel is concentrating airstrikes on the Iranian capital. Targets have included command centers, ballistic missile warehouses, and the headquarters of the state broadcaster, although the Iranian side denies the destruction of media infrastructure. Damage assessments indicate the destruction of parts of the Golestan Palace in Tehran, a site of immense historical significance. Tensions between Washington and Tehran have been systematically rising since the U.S. withdrawal from the JCPOA nuclear deal in 2018 and escalated after a series of incidents on shipping routes in the Persian Gulf. The total number of casualties in the region has risen to nearly 900. Analysts emphasize the unprecedented role of cyber operations and the use of artificial intelligence algorithms in planning strikes. Hacked city surveillance cameras and hijacked television broadcasts have become part of the psychological warfare conducted in parallel with the bombings. International humanitarian organizations are sounding the alarm about the growing number of civilian casualties and difficulties in accessing medical aid in besieged areas. „This is a dark day for our armed forces; we have lost brave soldiers in an attack that will not go unanswered.” — Pentagon Spokesperson
