Iran hits US military targets in the region as Washington probes deadly wedding strike
Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported46m ago
Iran has launched military strikes targeting United States bases and forces across the region, specifically hitting locations in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, and Iraq's Kurdistan region. The attacks occurred while Washington announced it is probing a separate deadly wedding strike.
The military escalation has caused oil prices to spike again following a brief period of stability. This renewed volatility is driven by Iran's continued stranglehold over the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway responsible for approximately 20% of global oil shipping.
