A Week of Escalation: Visualizing the US-Israel-Iran Conflict Across the Middle East
CNN’s interactive visualization traces how the US-Israeli campaign against Iran escalated in one week: strikes spread to more than a dozen countries, Iran’s death toll surpasses 1,230 with US casualties rising to at least six service members killed in Kuwait, and attacks reach across the Gulf and beyond—from Natanz and Tehran to embassies, ports and Hezbollah targets. President Trump says casualties will mount and demands Iran’s unconditional surrender, as European and NATO partners offer defensive support and satellite imagery chronicles the widening regional escalation.
