U.S. conducts sixth consecutive night of strikes on Iran as conflict escalates over Strait of Hormuz.
The U.S. military launched its sixth consecutive night of strikes on Iran, targeting military and transportation infrastructure including bridges, railways, and a surveillance tower near Bandar Abbas and Chabahar. Iran threatened to attack regional infrastructure if the U.S. strikes Iranian civilian targets, while both sides accused each other of violating a mid-June memorandum of understanding. The U.S. has reimposed a naval blockade of Iranian ports, and Iran has continued to target U.S. allies in the Persian Gulf region.

The split, in one line
U.S. outlets frame strikes as degrading Iranian military capabilities and protecting navigation, while international coverage emphasizes attacks on civilian infrastructure and potential war crimes. Iranian threats are reported as retaliation for U.S. escalation versus red lines depending on the outlet.
