The U.S. military has launched new airstrikes against Iran in retaliation for an attack on Jordan that resulted in the deaths of two American service members and injured several others. These strikes aim to degrade Iran's capacity to disrupt oil tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's supreme leader has warned of severe consequences if U.S. attacks continue, and Tehran has announced it is suspending commitments to a recent interim deal aimed at ending the conflict. The ongoing conflict has also impacted infrastructure in Kuwait, including a desalination plant and an oil facility, leading to injuries and disruptions. AI
