US and Iran Exchange Missile Strikes for Seventh Night Amid Escalating Tensions

The conflict between the United States and Iran has intensified, with both nations engaging in missile exchanges for the seventh consecutive night. U.S. Central Command announced further strikes against Iran, aimed at weakening its military capacity.

Reports from Iran indicate explosions occurred in the cities of Ahvaz, Yazd, and Bandar Abbas, as well as on islands in the Strait of Hormuz, following the U.S. attacks. In response, Tehran claims to have targeted U.S. bases located in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) also stated that two tankers traveling along a U.S.-controlled route in the southern Strait of Hormuz struck mines. The IRGC did not identify the specific tankers involved. Additionally, the IRGC reported that Iran launched strikes against the U.S. Al-Azraq airbase in Jordan, targeting fuel storage facilities.

Iranian authorities have warned that they will resume "full-scale operations" if the U.S. continues its attacks on Iranian targets in the coming days.
