Resume

Active military conflict between the US and Iran has intensified, with US strikes targeting Iranian cities including Sirik, Ahvaz, and Bushehr, while Iranian missiles killed three US soldiers at a Jordan base. Yemen's Houthi forces, acting in alignment with Iran, have attacked two Saudi oil tankers and declared a naval embargo on Saudi vessels, threatening critical Gulf maritime routes. Trump has issued direct warnings to Iran over Strait of Hormuz interference, raising the specter of broader infrastructure targeting and regional escalation.
