Escalating Strikes Between US and Iran Amid Rising Tensions
Explosions have been reported across Iran as the US military continues an intense campaign of strikes against Iranian military targets, completing its 13th consecutive night of attacks. The strikes come in response to threats from President Trump regarding shipping routes in the Red Sea and recent attacks on US service members. Tensions escalated further as Iran rejected a proposed ceasefire and continued to launch drone strikes targeting US bases in the region. The conflict has led to skyrocketing oil prices and fears of a broader military escalation, with both sides exchanging fire amidst ongoing diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the situation.
