  "account": "The United States recently launched a series of intense attacks on Iran following suspected Iranian attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz and U.S. military bases. Iran reported civilian casualties, including a child, while the U.S. claimed no casualties. Iran retaliated by launching missile and drone attacks on American military sites in Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Iraq. President Trump warned of more severe retaliation if Iran retaliates against the U.S. In response, the U.S. carried out further strikes on Iranian military targets, radar systems, and communications sites. Iran reported the attacks caused power outages in parts of Iran. The escalation comes after a brief pause in fighting, and the U.S. and Iran have been engaged in a tense standoff over the resumption of naval and economic pressure tactics.",
  "summary": "Iran said the latest attacks killed several civilians, including a child, while the U.S. military said it “never targets civilians.”",
