The United States launched a new wave of precision airstrikes on Iranian military targets after President Donald Trump warned that Iran's power plants and bridges would be targeted unless Tehran agreed to a new deal. The strikes focused on military sites, including coastal defence systems and missile facilities near the Strait of Hormuz. Iran responded with attacks on U.S. bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, and Qatar, while reporting dozens of deaths and hundreds of injuries from recent U.S. operations. The escalating conflict has heightened fears of a wider regional war and raised concerns over global energy supplies.
