US-Iran Direct Kinetic Exchange; Russia Internal Security Breach & Black Sea Escalation
The US and Iran are engaged in direct kinetic exchanges, with the US conducting a seventh consecutive night of strikes on Iranian military and critical infrastructure, and Iran retaliating with missile and drone attacks on US positions and Gulf state infrastructure.
