Today’s headline: Hormuz War Widens: U.S. Hits Port Links, Iran Strikes Gulf Allies Welcome to Iran War Daily. Here's Mithil Aggarwal at NBC News:
The United States attacked bridges and other key infrastructure in southern Iran late Friday, capping nearly a week of strikes aimed at intensifying pressure on Tehran to give up control of the Strait of Hormuz.
RTÉ News writes:
Iran launched renewed attacks on US Gulf allies after a seventh consecutive night of US strikes targeting Iranian military sites, including logistics infrastructure, escalating the war one week after a fragile ceasefire agreement fell apart. Both sides also took aim at shipping traffic, with the US saying it was enforcing a naval blockade while Iran said it targeted vessels that violated its rules on navigating the Strait of Hormuz, the vital waterway for one-fifth of the world's oil supply.
