US-Iran Conflict Escalation: US Strikes Iranian Targets, Iran Retaliates
The US military has conducted a seven-day strike campaign against Iranian-linked targets, including coastal facilities and energy infrastructure, leading to Iranian calls for power conservation. In retaliation, Iran has reportedly launched coordinated missile and drone strikes against multiple US-allied air bases in Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain, and also targeted Kurdish opposition groups in Iraq. The extent of damage from these strikes and specific casualty figures remain largely unverified, with both sides reporting on the other's actions.
