US-Iran Conflict Escalates Through Strait | Adelaide News

US airstrikes on Iran mark a ninth straight night of escalating conflict, following the death of an American service member in Iraq and Iran’s retaliatory missile launch toward Jordan—raising fears the war could spill into Israel. Targeting bridges, power grids, and what Iran claims is a nuclear site, the US aims to cripple Iran’s ability to attack ships in the Strait of Hormuz, where a ship recently caught fire. Iran’s strikes have forced Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait to scramble defenses, while Israel warns of potential cross-border fallout. The IAEA says the alleged nuclear site was untouched, and Jordan confirmed it shot down missiles without casualties. Shipping through the Strait has plummeted, Iran threatens dire consequences, and has pulled out of an interim peace deal—amid reports of heavy Iranian casualties from the strikes.
