US-Iran Clash Escalates Over Hormuz | Global News

from Global News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Tensions explode across the Middle East as the U.S. and Iran unleash a brutal cycle of strikes targeting infrastructure and military sites, all centered on the vital Strait of Hormuz. The U.S., under Trump’s pressure, bombs Iranian bridges, ports, and energy facilities to weaken Tehran’s control over global oil flows. Iran retaliates by hitting U.S. allies — Qatar and Kuwait — including damaging Kuwait’s critical water desalination plants. With attacks now spanning seven consecutive nights, casualties mount on both sides, including U.S. service members injured and Iranian civilians hurt. As heatwaves hit, Iran’s energy grid takes a beating, forcing power conservation. With no ceasefire in sight, the region teeters on the brink of deeper chaos.
