On July 17, 2026, tensions between the United States and Iran escalated further after six consecutive days of clashes. The U.S. conducted strikes on southern Iran, targeting six road bridges, as reported by Iranian state media. Additional reports indicated attacks on the city of Bushehr, home to Iran's sole nuclear power plant, and the western province of Lorestan. These actions have raised concerns about a potential resumption of full-scale war, particularly with no resolution in sight regarding the situation in the Strait of Hormuz.
