The US military has confirmed a significant escalation in its operations against Iran, launching multiple waves of attacks following Iranian aggression in the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump has threatened to target critical infrastructure, including power plants and bridges, unless Iran resumes negotiations. Lawmakers have expressed concern over the renewed military actions, criticizing Trump for reigniting the conflict. As the US reimposes a naval blockade on Iranian ports, tensions have soared, prompting Iran to threaten a halt to energy exports from the Middle East. The ongoing hostilities have resulted in casualties and injuries, with both nations exchanging strikes amid fears of a prolonged war.
