Iran-U.S. Escalation Hits Gulf Allies | Calgary News

Tensions between Iran and the U.S. are spiraling into open conflict, with seven straight nights of U.S. strikes on Iranian military targets sparking retaliatory attacks by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps — hitting U.S. allies like Kuwait and Bahrain, damaging infrastructure and disrupting flights. Iran blames U.S. strikes for destroying key infrastructure, vows more retaliation, and accuses the U.S. of enforcing a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz — a chokepoint for global oil — while the U.S. claims it’s targeting vessels violating maritime rules. With oil prices climbing and both sides testing each other’s limits, the world watches as this volatile standoff threatens to spiral further.
