US Launches Fresh Strikes As Iran Says Civilian Sites Were Hit. The United States has launched a sixth consecutive night of strikes on Iran as fighting over the Strait of Hormuz continues to escalate. U.S. Central Command said it targeted Iranian military facilities and maritime capabilities, while also announcing it had boarded a vessel enforcing its blockade of Iranian ports. Iranian state media accused the U.S. of striking civilian infrastructure, including bridges, a railway station and an airport, with several deaths reported. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they retaliated by targeting U.S. military sites in Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain and Syria, although some claims have not been independently verified. Jordan said it intercepted three Iranian missiles, while Kurdish authorities blamed Iran for attacks that killed eight people in Sulaymaniyah and sent drones toward Erbil. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted regional oil flows, prompting fresh warnings over global energy supplies. Despite the escalating conflict, the White House said President Donald Trump remains open to diplomacy, while insisting Iran will face consequences for attacks in the strait. China and Pakistan have urged both sides to halt the fighting and return to negotiations as fears grow over a wider regional conflict.
