Iran Expands Conflict Beyond Borders | Sydney News

Iran’s expanding conflict is turning into a global chess game, with strikes across the Middle East and ripple effects in the Caspian and Mediterranean. After U.S. retaliation for tanker attacks, Iran’s IRGC has targeted U.S. bases in Bahrain, Qatar, and Kuwait — while Houthis blockading Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea lifelines threaten oil flows and shipping lanes. Meanwhile, Iran’s drone support to Russia in Ukraine collides with disputed naval skirmishes near the Caspian, and a drone strike in Egypt’s Suez Canal port adds fresh peril.
