· Updated May 12 · 08:54

In the last 12 hours, significant military and diplomatic activities have unfolded in the ongoing conflict. The Golani Brigade of the IDF has commenced operations near the Litani River in Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah infrastructure. Concurrently, the IDF conducted airstrikes on approximately 45 Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon, resulting in the destruction of missile launchers and the elimination of several operatives. Hezbollah retaliated by launching rockets at IDF forces; however, these fell in open areas, causing no casualties. In a notable escalation, the United Arab Emirates has been confirmed to have conducted secret airstrikes against Iranian targets, indicating a broader coalition against Iran's military capabilities. Furthermore, Israel has mobilized an Iron Dome battery to the UAE, enhancing regional air defense capabilities amid ongoing threats. The U.S. has also engaged militarily, with reports of the Navy targeting an Iranian oil tanker, Sanandaj, in the Oman Sea, contributing to environmental concerns. Diplomatically, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee commented on the tenuous nature of the current ceasefire, linking Iran to regional militant groups. The Lebanese Prime Minister has called for a ceasefire and U.S. intervention, reflecting the growing humanitarian concerns in Lebanon. Iran has threatened to escalate its uranium enrichment to 90% if attacked, showcasing its willingness to heighten tensions further. Overall, the situation appears to be escalating, with military operations intensifying on multiple fronts and diplomatic efforts struggling to maintain a fragile ceasefire. The involvement of the UAE in strikes against Iran and the deployment of Israeli defense systems in the region signal a potential shift in the conflict dynamics, with increased risks of broader regional engagement.
