Israel and Iran intensified their deadly air strikes Monday on the fifth day after Israel launched its first attack to dismantle Iran's nuclear capability.

The conflict between Israel and Iran has wreaked considerable damage in both countries and caused casualties on both sides.

Oil prices rose again Tuesday morning in Asia, as markets weighed the odds of a resolution in the Israel-Iran conflict. Crude prices bounced as news of fresh attacks rolled in, including another wave of Iranian missiles launched at Israel and more Israeli strikes on Iran.

Iran and Israel continued on Sunday their aerial attacks, which began Friday with a series of Israeli strikes on Iran.

Israel says it first bombed Iran to stop it from being able to produce nuclear weapons and the “existential threat” they would represent.

Mohammad-Reza Zafarghandi said in an update that an Israeli strike on Sunday on Quds Square in northern Tehran injured 59 civilians and killed 12 people, including a pregnant woman. That attack also ruptured a main water pipeline.

"American Forces are maintaining their defensive posture & that has not changed," the chief Pentagon spokesperson said.
