The United States and Iran exchanged military strikes for a second day, escalating tensions in the Middle East and threatening a full-scale war. - U.S.
airstrikes targeted Iranian military sites, including surveillance and air defense systems. - An Indian official reported three Indian mariners killed in a U.S.
strike on an oil tanker violating the blockade. - Iran retaliated by firing at Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan, with some interceptions causing minor damage.
- The Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed, disrupting global energy supplies and driving up fuel prices. The exchanges of fire have stalled negotiations, with the U.S.
demanding Iran give up its nuclear program and Iran seeking sanctions relief.
