US Bombs Iran for Ninth Day as Standoff Over Hormuz Deepens
The U.S. military conducted airstrikes on Iranian military targets for the ninth consecutive day, with operations concluding early Monday morning. This escalation follows ongoing Iranian attacks on U.S. bases in Kuwait, Jordan, Bahrain, and Iraq, amid tensions over the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Energy prices surged, with Brent crude oil exceeding $90 a barrel as the conflict shows no signs of abating.
