The war in the Middle East between the United States, Israel, and Iran entered its thirteenth day of hostilities, with an intensification of bombings on Iranian territory. According to the US Central Command (CENTCOM), US forces have already attacked more than 6,000 targets within Iran since the start of the military offensive launched in late February, as reported by the Argentine News Agency. The military campaign, named "Epic Fury," is being carried out in coordination with Israel and aims to weaken the military capabilities of the Iranian regime, including military installations, naval bases, command centers, and air defense systems. An unprecedented air and naval offensive. The Pentagon states that the attacks are primarily aimed at Iranian military infrastructure and at targets considered threats to US forces and their allies in the region. During the first days of the war, the US had already reported hitting thousands of military targets, including strategic installations, missile systems, and vessels of the Iranian navy. As the days passed, the number of targets hit continued to increase, surpassing six thousand. According to US military authorities, the offensive seeks to dismantle the security apparatus of the Iranian regime and reduce its ability to project attacks in the Middle East. Iran responds with attacks, and the conflict expands. While Washington assures that the military campaign is advancing, Iran responds with missile and drone attacks against US and allied targets in the Persian Gulf, elevating the risk of a wider regional war. Tensions have spread to several countries in the region, with military incidents reported in areas near the Strait of Hormuz and attacks that also reached strategic installations in Gulf countries. A conflict showing no signs of ending. Despite Washington's optimism about the development of the offensive, analysts warn that the conflict could still last for weeks and continue to escalate across different fronts in the Middle East. In parallel, regional allies of Tehran, such as militias in Lebanon and Iraq, have begun to get involved in the clashes, increasing international concern about a possible expansion of the conflict beyond Iran.
