What happened
The United States military has completed its 10th successive night of strikes against Iranian targets. These operations were launched after attacks in recent weeks resulted in the deaths of three U.S. troops and left nearly 100 others injured. Latest strikes have specifically targeted threats to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
Coverage from Reuters, CNN, and CBS News emphasizes the scale and duration of the military response. Meanwhile, reports from The Times of Israel, France 24, and ABC News highlight regional escalation, noting that Iran launched missiles toward Aqaba, Jordan, some of which were intercepted. The IDF warned that these attacks could spill over into Israel, with fragments falling near Eilat.
Attention now turns to whether the conflict will expand further, as Fox News reports Trump is weighing a war expansion. Concurrently, Bloomberg reports that mediators are pushing for a truce while Trump maintains that Iran will pay for the deaths of U.S. personnel.
