US military strikes against Iran entered a second day, significantly escalating tensions over the strategic Strait of Hormuz and causing global oil prices to surge.
US forces conducted new strikes on Iranian military air-defense systems, radar sites, and missile capabilities, reportedly killing two people in an Iranian oil city, while Iran fired "warning shots" in the Strait of Hormuz and claimed strikes against Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, and Oman.
The heightened conflict triggered air raid alerts across the Gulf region and prompted Iran to engage mediators from Qatar, Pakistan, and Oman in an effort to de-escalate, despite warnings from Tehran that it might abandon a memorandum of understanding with the US.
