US-Iran Conflict Escalates with Direct Engagements and Infrastructure Targeting

The US-Iran conflict has significantly escalated, marked by a seventh consecutive night of US airstrikes against Iranian military infrastructure and alleged direct kinetic engagements. Iran has responded with missile and drone strikes, including 'Operation Nasr 2,' targeting US positions and critical infrastructure in Gulf states, with unverified reports of civilian casualties in Iran and Kuwait. The scope and specific attribution of these retaliatory strikes remain uncertain, but the targeting of civilian infrastructure represents a notable expansion of hostilities.
