U.S. completes fresh strikes on Iran as Mideast tensions flare again

U.S. forces completed another wave of strikes against Iran on Tuesday stateside, hitting multiple Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps sites across the country.

US military carried out fresh strikes against Iran, escalating tensions following a month without direct attacks. Iran responded with ballistic missiles and drones, warning of "crushing and devastating blows." The conflict threatens the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial oil shipping corridor, and raises concerns over global energy supplies.

President Trump vowed stronger retaliation if Iran retaliates, stating that a "bigger attack" is waiting. Iran claimed civilian casualties in a recent strike on a wedding ceremony in Iran, while US Central Command denied targeting civilians. The escalation has already impacted energy markets, with crude prices rising sharply.
