The Israel-Iran conflict has entered a dangerous new phase after Israeli officials claimed a major Iranian power figure, Ali Larijani, was killed in a covert strike. This as Tehran upped its waves of missiles and drones across the region, while Gulf states scrambled to intercept incoming threats over their skies. At the same time, Iran intensified a sweeping internet blackout and began hunting satellite internet terminals it calls a wartime threat. As missile sirens echo across Israel and interceptions light up Gulf airspace, the escalation is raising fears that the confrontation is rapidly expanding beyond a single battlefield.
