Impact Of Middle East Conflict On US Stocks
Iran Attacks Israel Live: Iran launched a missile attack on Israel on Tuesday in a major escalation in the raging conflict in the Middle East. The IDF said in a statement that all Israeli civilians are in bomb shelters as rockets from Iran are fired at Israel. The IDF further said that Hezbollah is upset that the IDF exposed their plans to massacre Israelis, so they decided to target innocent civilians by firing a barrage of rockets.
According to state TV, more than 180 missiles were launched towards Israel. The Times of Israel reported that sirens continue to sound across Israel amid the attack. Around 10 million civilians are the targets of Iranian projectiles, the IDF said.

External affairs minister S Jaishankar has expressed concern over the ongoing middle east crisis
"We regard October 7 as a terrorist attack. We understand that Israel needed to respond, but we also believe that any response by any country has to take into account international humanitarian law and that it must be careful about any damage or implications for civilian populations. It is important to have some kind of international humanitarian effort," Jaishankar said.
"We are concerned at the possibility of a broadening of the conflict, not just what happened in Lebanon, but also to the Houthis and the Red Sea, and to anything that happens between Iran and Israel. Don't underestimate the importance of communication in difficult times. If there are things to be said and passed on and back, I think those are all contributions that we can make, and we do," he added.

“I’ve been talking about World War III for a long time, and I don’t want to make predictions because the predictions always come true.

She was at a fundraiser in San Francisco.”
“If I were in charge, today’s attack on Israel never would have happened. All of the things that we’re talking about never would have happened, including that botched withdrawal that made us look so bad,” he said, referring to the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan in 2021.
“If I win, we will have peace in the world again. I guarantee we will have peace in the world again,” Trump added. “And if Kamala gets four more — unthinkable, right? — if she gets four more years, the world goes up in smoke.”
