Israel widens Iran conflict by hitting oil targets as Tehran seeks new supreme leader

On day nine of the US-Israel war with Iran, Israel says it has begun striking Iran’s oil infrastructure, including fuel sites in Tehran, while Iran’s process to choose a new supreme leader advances with no name announced. Iran continues retaliatory strikes on Gulf states as regional tensions rise; Trump signals possible ground forces if warranted. The fighting spills over regionally with incidents in Beirut, Dubai and Erbil, and Iranian officials sending mixed messages about the path forward.
