U.S. and Iran Escalate Gulf Strikes | Calgary News

Tensions soar as the U.S. launches its seventh consecutive night of strikes on Iran, targeting infrastructure, prompting Iran to retaliate by attacking U.S. allies in the Gulf and disrupting shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Explosions rocked oil tankers, with conflicting claims from both sides, while armed militants seized another vessel off Yemen, heightening Red Sea security fears. Iran vows to halt all exports of oil, gas, and fertilizers until U.S. aggression stops, claiming to have intercepted four vessels with missiles and drones. U.S. strikes aim to cripple Iran’s military, while Iran reports damage and casualties in Hormozgan and hits critical facilities in Kuwait.
