U.S. Escalates Strikes on Iran | Bakersfield News

U.S. strikes on Iran escalate dramatically, targeting sites north of the Strait of Hormuz and firing on an oil tanker attempting to breach the naval blockade — a move that’s sent global oil prices soaring and pushed the region toward all-out war. With over 35 dead and 300 wounded in Iran, and strikes now reaching Tehran, the fragile ceasefire is shattered. Iran retaliates by attacking U.S. allies in Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait — though no immediate damage is confirmed. Amid the chaos, President Trump insists Iran is still open to peace, citing the release of an American citizen as a sign of goodwill, while mediators scramble to salvage diplomacy before tensions spiral further.
