US and Iran engage in escalating exchange of strikes targeting military and civilian infrastructure across the region
The United States and Iran are engaged in an escalating cycle of strikes, with the US conducting at least 10 consecutive nights of airstrikes on Iran while Iran has retaliated by targeting US military assets and civilian infrastructure in Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, and other Gulf states. At least 50 people have died in Iran since hostilities resumed on July 15, and nearly 100 US service members have been injured over the past two weeks. A peace memorandum signed in June has collapsed, and the conflict has disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, pushing oil prices above $88 per barrel.
