US strikes Iran; Tehran hits Kuwait
The United States carried out a new round of military strikes against Iran at the request of President Donald Trump. The targets included critical facilities such as a power station near the Bushehr nuclear plant and other sites in Khuzestan, resulting in the death of at least two people. These attacks come within the context of an American escalation aimed at controlling the Strait of Hormuz and restoring international navigation; Iran has responded with attacks on ships in the strait and strikes on locations in Kuwait in response to American threats. Trump also threatened to target Iran's vital infrastructure if Tehran fired on ships in the strait. Iran, in turn, warned of retaliation against American targets in the region, and the Revolutionary Guard declared that the Strait of Hormuz is completely closed and under their control. This coincided with rising tensions over freedom of navigation in the strait, amid American accusations that Iran attacked oil tankers.
