Map shows how 16 days of attacks have evolved in US-Israel war on Iran

"The United States and Israel continue to carry out attacks as the war with Iran enters its 17th day. Iran has retaliated by launching missile and drone barrages towards Israel and by attacking neighbouring Gulf countries. Unlike the June 2025 strikes, which US President Donald Trump said curbed Iran's nuclear capabilities, the current conflict has spread across at least a dozen countries, closed the Strait of Hormuz the world's major oil artery and killed more than 2,300 people in the region."

"The Armed Conflict Location and Event Data (ACLED), an independent conflict monitor, has documented nearly 2,000 distinct events across at least 29 of Iran's 31 provinces, with Tehran enduring the heaviest bombardments. Each event may involve multiple attacks employing various types of weaponry, including air and drone strikes, artillery, shelling, missile attacks, remote explosives/IEDs, and disrupted weapons use, which measures interceptions."

"US and Israeli strikes have mainly targeted Iran's missile infrastructure, nuclear and military sites. In addition, Israel and the US have targeted Iran's energy facilities, including oil depots in Tehran, as well as military sites on Kharg Island, a vital port for Iran's oil exports. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), at least 18 hospitals and health facilities have been hit."
