10 June 2026 16:20

The U.S. launched a second day of strikes against Iran, targeting air defense and radar sites in response to Iranian attacks on U.S.

allies. The escalation threatens a fragile ceasefire and global oil markets.

- U.S. Central Command said it struck 'multiple targets in Iran' after Iranian missiles hit Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan.

- Iran reported explosions in southern cities and claimed U.S. strikes hit water reservoirs, cutting off supplies.

- President Trump urged Iran to sign a deal but warned Tehran would 'pay the price' for delays. - The conflict has driven oil prices above $93 a barrel, up 25% since the war began in February.

The two sides remain divided over Iran's enriched uranium stockpile and sanctions relief, with mediation efforts ongoing.
