Iran Escalates as US Strikes Continue | UK News
Description
Iran claims responsibility for a tanker attack in the Strait of Hormuz, forcing crew abandonment, amid escalating conflict as the U.S. conducts its tenth straight night of airstrikes targeting Iranian military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait. The strikes aim to disrupt Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping, but have already injured nearly 100 U.S. service members, including three killed over the weekend — sparking Democratic calls for an immediate halt to the war. Meanwhile, Lebanon deploys troops under a U.S.-brokered deal to manage security as Israel prepares to withdraw and oversee Hezbollah disarmament. Amid the violence, Iran’s interior minister travels to Pakistan, a key mediator, signaling ongoing diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions.
