The international system based on the principles of the United Nations has effectively ceased to function amid the escalation around Iran. This was stated by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Europe faces “hell” in the energy sector if the escalation in the Middle East continues. This was stated by Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić.

In the first three days of the operation against Iran, the US Navy launched about 400 Tomahawk cruise missiles—nearly five years’ worth of production at current rates. This was reported by 19FortyFive.
The publication notes that the Tomahawk is one of the US Navy’s key missiles for conducting strikes in the first hours of a conflict. Approximately 90 Tomahawk missiles are produced annually, while in 2025 only 72 such missiles were manufactured. At the same time, assembling each one takes up to two years due to the limited number of suppliers and specialized components.

The attack took place on Saturday after the US and Israel announced joint strikes on Iran, marking the deadliest incident in the war against Tehran so far, targeting civilians.
