(CNN) — Days after the US and Israel first launched strikes against Iran, the conflict is widening by the hour, drawing in other countries across the region, sparking fears for the global economy and leaving thousands of travelers stranded.

By Monday, retaliatory strikes launched from Iran shattered any sense of security its Gulf neighbors have enjoyed, killing at least 17 people, including three US service members, across the region and in Israel.

Several US military aircraft crashed in Kuwait on Monday, the Gulf country’s defense ministry said, adding that “all crew members survived.” US President Donald Trump said Sunday that his conflict with Iran could last “four weeks or so,” offering the clearest indication yet of how long the administration anticipates the military campaign could continue.

Meanwhile, Israel launched a wave of strikes against Lebanon, responding to a Hezbollah provocation early Monday. The strikes killed at least 31 people, Lebanese authorities said, and opened up another front in the conflict.

Joint US-Israeli strikes have killed at least 555 people in Iran, according to the Iranian Red Crescent, including at least 165 people at a girls’ elementary school, the country’s state media reported.

Those strikes also killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, marking a turning point in the nation’s history and leaving Iranians confronting a surreal mixture of relief, disbelief and anxiety.

Here’s what we know so far.

What’s happening now?

As the war expands, still unbounded by the vague objectives the Trump administration has laid out, new fronts are opening up.

Hezbollah fired six projectiles at an Israeli army base south of Haifa “in revenge” for Khamenei’s death in the early hours of Monday morning, prompting a furious wave of strikes from Israel in Beirut and southern Lebanon. That marked one of the most significant engagements between the two groups since a fragile ceasefire went into effect in November 2024, and Israel has not ruled out further action. An Israeli military spokesman said “all operations remain on the table” when asked about the potential for a ground operation.

In Kuwait, meanwhile, the country’s Ministry of Defense said “several United States military aircraft crashed” on Monday, without specifying the cause, and that “all crew members survived.” Videos geolocated by CNN showed a fighter jet crashing and a pilot parachuting to the ground.

CNN teams in the major Gulf cities of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha heard explosions Monday morning and saw what appeared to be missiles being intercepted in the skies above them.

Iran fired a new barrage of missiles toward Israel on Monday, Israel’s military said.

In Iran, multiple rounds of explosions were reported in Tehran, while patients were evacuated from a hospital in the north of the city on Sunday after it was badly damaged, according to Iranian state media.

Why did the US and Israel attack?

By Monday, retaliatory strikes launched from Iran shattered any sense of security its Gulf neighbors have enjoyed, killing at least 17 people, including three US service members, across the region and in Israel.

Three US military aircraft crashed in Kuwait on Monday, “due to an apparent friendly fire incident,” the US military said, adding that all six aircrew ejected and are “in stable condition.” US President Donald Trump said Sunday that his conflict with Iran could last “four weeks or so,” offering the clearest indication yet of how long the administration anticipates the military campaign could continue.

(CNN) — “Several” US fighter jets crashed in Kuwait on Monday, according to CNN’s analysis of online videos and the gulf country’s Ministry of Defense, which said that all of the crew members survived.

The ministry in a statement did not specify exactly how many jets crashed nor did it say what caused them.

The statement comes after videos geolocated by CNN showed a fighter jet crashing in Kuwait and a pilot parachuting to the ground. The video appeared to show an F-15E fighter jet, according to a CNN analysis.

It’s unclear what caused the crashes of the aircraft, which each cost tens of millions of dollars. CNN has reached out to US Central Command and the White House for comment.

“Relevant authorities immediately initiated search-and-rescue operations,” Kuwait’s defense ministry spokesperson Col. Said Al-Atwan said in the statement.

“The crews were evacuating from the crash sites and transferred to hospital to assess their condition and provided necessary medical care,” he said.

The crew members are in a “stable” condition, the ministry added.

Al-Atwan said Kuwait was in “direct coordination” with US authorities.

One video geolocated by CNN shows a fighter jet crashing over Kuwait near a US air base. The video shows a jet on fire and falling in a tailspin out of the sky, and it suggests the jet came down within 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) of the US Ali Al Salem base in Kuwait.

Other videos geolocated by CNN appear to show a fighter jet pilot on the ground in Kuwait after ejecting from an aircraft.

In one of the videos, a man in a full flight suit and helmet can be seen kneeling on the ground next to an orange and white parachute and a parachute cord in a desert area near a fence line.

CNN has geolocated the video about 30 kilometers (18.5 miles) from the Ali Al Salem base.

In another video, the pilot is seen standing up as bystanders look on, with thick black smoke billowing in the distant background.

The crashes come during heavy bombardment on Gulf nations as part of an expanding war with Iran. It also comes as smoke has been seen over the area surrounding the US Embassy in Kuwait.

It is notable when US fighter jets crash overseas and often triggers an investigation.

In 2024, a US ship “mistakenly fired” upon a F/A-18 operating from the USS Harry S. Truman in the Red Sea. The incident was investigated, and the two Navy pilots ejected safely.

The US military has a significant number of military assets in the region, deployed in the weeks leading up to the joint US-Israeli military operation that kicked off early Saturday morning Eastern Time. A list put out by CENTCOM on Sunday showing the assets employed thus far included F-18s, F-16s, F-22s, F-35s, A-10 attack aircraft, MQ-9 Reaper drones, refueling aircraft, counter-drone systems, Navy aircraft carriers and guided-missile destroyers.

More than 1,000 targets have been struck, the CENTCOM release on Sunday said, adding that the military is focusing on military targets like command and control centers, Iranian Navy ships and subm
