The US military has conducted thirteen consecutive nights of airstrikes against IRGC targets, primarily in the Middle East, indicating a significant escalation in direct kinetic engagement. Concurrently, Houthi forces maintain a blockade of the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, disrupting global maritime trade and reportedly conducting lethal strikes against Saudi-flagged vessels. Iranian state-affiliated media claims US missile strikes near the Strait of Hormuz and continuous US strikes on Iranian territory, though these claims lack independent verification.
Why it matters — This sustained military friction and maritime disruption threaten regional stability, global supply chains, and could lead to broader conflict involving key international actors.
