U.S. Strikes Iran For 10th Consecutive Night
9 hours ago
The United States carried out a tenth consecutive night of airstrikes on targets inside Iran as the conflict over the Strait of Hormuz continues to intensify.
The latest escalation comes after Iran attacked a commercial tanker transiting the strategic waterway, forcing the crew to abandon the vessel. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important shipping lanes, carrying roughly one-fifth of all globally traded oil and natural gas.
Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the conflict are continuing. Iran's interior minister traveled to Pakistan for talks as regional leaders work to prevent the fighting from expanding further.
