The United States launched a "heavy wave" of airstrikes on Iran after Tehran allegedly attempted ballistic missile attacks on American forces in Jordan and targeted ships in the Strait of Hormuz. US Central Command said dozens of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) military sites, including missile, drone and command facilities, were struck. Iranian state media reported that 3 civilians, including a 2-year-old child, were killed on Qeshm Island. The latest escalation follows months of conflict between the US and Iran, raising fresh concerns over regional stability despite recent efforts to restart diplomatic talks. (PC: BBC)
