US escalates strikes on Iran as Tehran fires back across the Gulf
TL;DR Summary
The US conducted new air strikes on Iranian military targets near Tehran and Bandar Abbas to degrade Iran’s ability to threaten shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and said it disabled a non-compliant oil tanker; Iran retaliated with attacks on US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, while Jordan intercepted missiles and Iraq reported drone attacks on Erbil. With at least 35 dead and more than 300 wounded in the latest wave, the clash threatens a broader confrontation as Tehran warns of energy-export disruptions and both sides issue aggressive rhetoric.
