Iran has retaliated with missile launches targeting US military assets and regional targets in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait, and has seized four commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. This marks a significant and confirmed escalation in direct kinetic engagement between the two nations, moving beyond previous proxy-based conflict patterns.
