Iran and the United States exchanged strikes for a ninth consecutive day as tensions continued to rise over the strategic Strait of Hormuz, increasing fears of a wider regional conflict.
US forces reportedly carried out strikes on the town of Khormoj in southwestern Iran, while Iran launched fresh attacks that affected neighbouring countries, including Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain.
The escalation has intensified concerns across the Gulf region, with governments monitoring the growing hostilities and the potential impact on security and global energy routes through the Strait of Hormuz.
