Washington targets Iran after Jordan's casualties
The confrontation between the United States and Iran is intensifying following Washington's launch of a new round of airstrikes on Iranian targets in response to attacks that resulted in the death of American military personnel and the loss of a third individual in Jordan. The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) carried out these strikes with the approval of President Donald Trump, aiming to weaken Iran's capabilities to threaten navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, which accounts for about one-fifth of global oil trade. This comes after seven nights of strikes targeting Iranian sites, including military facilities, arms depots, and maritime infrastructure, as Iran continues to threaten a comprehensive response and expand its attacks against American positions in the region. These developments represent a serious escalation toward a more dangerous phase, while Washington warns of the possibility of expanding operations, and Iran signals a readiness to resume large-scale attacks, jeopardizing regional security and global energy markets.
