Iran vows to fight "as long as necessary" as Israel launches new strikes on Tehran

Iran said Tuesday it will fight for as long as necessary and warned that no oil will be exported from the Gulf while the conflict with the United States and Israel continues, directly contradicting President Donald Trump's assertion that the war will end soon.

The Israeli military launched a new wave of bombardments on Tehran as the conflict entered its 11th day. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel will continue its offensive against Iran "with all its force" and said military operations are reshaping "the face of the Middle East."

Trump said the conflict is "practically finished" but escalated threats regarding the Strait of Ormuz, a critical oil transit zone. He threatened a response 20 times stronger if Iran blocks the strait.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees reported that Israeli attacks on Lebanon and extensive evacuation orders have displaced at least 667,000 people in one week. More than 50 localities have received evacuation orders, according to Karolina Lindholm, ACNUR's representative in Lebanon, speaking from Beirut.

Oil prices showed mixed movement following Trump's comments. Brent crude fell sharply to below $90 per barrel after his statement about the war being nearly over. However, refined fuel prices continued to rise at the pump across multiple markets.

In Italy, fuel prices increased Tuesday morning. Eni raised recommended prices by two cents per liter for gasoline and three cents for diesel. Ip recorded increases of six cents on gasoline and twelve cents on diesel. These price adjustments were expected to reach consumers at gas stations by Wednesday, based on data from Staffetta Quotidiana monitoring approximately 20,000 fuel stations.

Reports indicated that Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, was wounded in an unclear incident. Qatar intercepted Iranian missiles during the ongoing operations.
