US-Iran strikes flare after month-long pause

US-Iran strikes flare after month-long pause

US-Iran hostilities erupted again after a month-long pause, with US forces striking Iranian rocket launchers in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran retaliated against US targets in the UAE and Jordan, while the UAE said its forces dealt with a drone coming from Iran.

Trump posted a bizarre AI video of Iran's Kharg Island being 'blown to smithereens' and vowed to hit Iran hard.

An expert report suggested a new Lockheed Martin Precision Strike Missile may have killed Iranian civilians far from its intended blast site, and the EASA narrowed its warning to airlines over Persian Gulf airspace.
