US-Iran Escalation at Hormuz | Global News

US airstrikes hit multiple Iranian cities overnight in retaliation for the deaths of three American soldiers—two in Jordan, one in Iraq—marking the ninth straight night of strikes aimed at crippling Iran’s ability to disrupt shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran claims it struck back, launching attacks in Syria and targeting US aircraft in Jordan, while Kuwait intercepted Iranian drones. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard warned the Strait remains unsafe for global shipping as long as US strikes continue, vowing more “punitive operations.” Despite the escalation, Secretary of State Marco Rubio reaffirmed the US’s willingness to pursue diplomacy, stressing the global need to keep vital waterways free from Iranian control. The fragile ceasefire agreed upon in June has collapsed, with peace talks stalled, leaving tensions high as both sides trade blows and threats in a strategically critical region.
