The United States launched fresh strikes on Iran, targeting the strategic Chabahar port after President Donald Trump warned Tehran that **"it will get much worse"** if attacks continued. The strikes came after Iran was accused of targeting commercial shipping near the Strait of Hormuz, prompting a renewed US military response. Chabahar, a key port on Iran's southeastern coast, was among the sites hit as Washington stepped up operations against Iranian military infrastructure. The latest escalation has further heightened tensions in the region, with fears growing that the conflict could widen and disrupt global shipping and energy supplies. (PC: India Today)
