  • The United States is conducting its tenth consecutive night of attacks against Iran, targeting military capabilities used in regional shipping attacks.
  • Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps claims to have retaliated by striking US missile systems in Kuwait.
  • Tensions escalate as Houthi rebels declare a blockade on Saudi Arabia, potentially reigniting the Yemeni conflict.

The United States launched its tenth consecutive night of airstrikes against Iran, aiming to degrade military assets used to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. US Central Command announced the operation, which has seen explosions reported in several Iranian locations. In response, Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed to have retaliated with ground-to-ground missiles targeting US HIMARS missile systems at Camp Arifjan in Kuwait. This exchange follows recent attacks that killed US service members in Jordan and Iraq. President Donald Trump previously vowed that Iran would "pay" for any attacks on US personnel. Meanwhile, Yemen's Houthi rebels announced a maritime blockade on Saudi Arabia, raising concerns about a potential resurgence of the Yemeni conflict and further disruption to shipping in the Red Sea.

The United States is carrying out its 10th consecutive night of attacks against Iran, with Iranian media reporting explosions in Sirik, Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island, and Isfahan.
