U.S. and Iran exchange strikes after monthlong lull in fighting
Iran fired drones and missiles at U.S. allies in the Gulf including Kuwait, Bahrain, and the UAE after U.S. strikes on Iranian military targets. A U.S. strike hit a wedding party in Iran killing at least five including a child. Brent crude rose above $95 as the Strait of Hormuz remained largely shut to shipping.
