Following U.S. airstrikes on Iranian targets, Iran has launched retaliatory attacks against facilities in several Gulf nations. The escalation has led to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and a breakdown in diplomatic ceasefire efforts.

Tensions have surged in the Persian Gulf as Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz and attacks regional targets following a large-scale U.S. military offensive.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has closed the Strait of Hormuz indefinitely after firing warning shots at a vessel. This action follows the collapse of ceasefire negotiations and escalating military engagements in the region.

U.S. forces conducted a wide-ranging offensive against Iranian military infrastructure following attacks on commercial shipping. The IRGC retaliated with strikes against U.S. bases in Kuwait and Bahrain.
