Gulf Tensions Escalate as Strikes Continue | Johannesburg News
Description
Bahrain’s sirens blared as fire alarms sounded, just as U.S. forces completed their 13th night of strikes on Iran — escalating tensions in the Gulf. With the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil chokepoint, under threat, Houthi rebels in Yemen — backed by Iran — claimed hits on Saudi tankers in the Red Sea, signaling a possible regional widening. Meanwhile, explosions rocked Iran’s Qeshm Island, a key naval hub, and nearby cities, including Ahvaz, where a U.S. missile strike reportedly killed four and wounded five. The U.S. says these strikes aim to dismantle Iran’s ability to threaten shipping — and reclaim control of the vital waterway that moves one-fifth of global oil and gas — as oil prices soar past $100 a barrel.
