The U.S. and Iran exchanged military strikes for a second day, escalating the conflict in the Middle East.

American attacks appeared more intense, targeting Iranian military sites, while Iran retaliated against Gulf states. An Indian official reported three mariners killed in a U.S.

strike on an oil tanker. Diplomatic efforts remain stalled, with major disagreements over Iran's nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz.

- U.S. strikes targeted Iranian surveillance, communication, and air defense systems.

- Iran fired back at Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan, causing minor injuries and damage. - India protested the killing of three mariners in a U.S.

attack on an oil tanker. - Negotiations remain deadlocked over Iran's uranium stockpile and sanctions relief.

The conflict shows no signs of de-escalation, with both sides continuing military operations and diplomatic talks failing to make progress.
