The United States and Iran have exchanged attacks, escalating tensions in the region. The U.S. military, according to Centcom, targeted several Iranian Revolutionary Guard positions, including air defense systems and radar installations, in response to alleged Iranian attacks on commercial ships and U.S. targets. Iran accused the U.S. of attacking civilian areas. Explosions were reported across multiple regions in Iran, including Ghesm Island, Bandar Abbas, Konarak, and Chabahar, with reports of casualties at a wedding event. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard announced retaliatory strikes, and Gulf states like Kuwait, Jordan, and Bahrain reported intercepting ballistic missiles and drones. Oil prices rose sharply due to the heightened regional tensions. U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran that any retaliation would face even harsher responses.
