Iran’s “Wave 98” has turned the Iran–Israel–U.S. showdown into a full‑blown energy war, with missiles raining on Tel Aviv, Haifa, Be’er Sheva and central Israel while a “Zionist‑linked” ship burns at sea and U.S. assault ship LHA‑7 is reportedly forced to retreat. Cluster warheads scatter bomblets from Ramat Gan to Petah Tikva, leaving multiple dead as Jordan and Gulf states scramble to intercept drones and missiles. In reply, Israel’s defense minister claims strikes on Asaluyeh and a second hub have knocked out about 85% of Iran’s petrochemical export capacity.
