A drone strike hit gas vessels in Egypt's Damietta port, near the Suez Canal, potentially signaling a new escalation in the U.S.-Iran conflict. The Egyptian government reported that an unidentified drone caused fires on two vessels, though no group has claimed responsibility. The U.S. military responded to Iranian attacks by striking Iranian Revolutionary Guards' facilities, resulting in casualties on both sides. In retaliation, Iran attacked a U.S. base in Jordan and a Chinese-owned facility in Kuwait. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia joined U.S. airstrikes against Iran-aligned groups in Iraq, marking the first time it has participated directly in such operations. This follows a failed ceasefire agreement and ongoing tensions over control of the Strait of Hormuz.
