US launches second round of airstrikes on Iran; Iran retaliates against Gulf states
By
Jon Gambrell, Michelle L. Price, Konstantin Toropin
Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
The United States launched a second round of airstrikes on Iran after President Trump warned Tehran would "pay the price" for stalled negotiations. Iran retaliated by targeting Bahrain and Kuwait, both of which host U.S. troops, leading Kuwait to close its airspace. The conflict escalation is tied to Iran's continued chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, which has disrupted global energy supplies and driven oil prices higher, as diplomatic efforts to end the war remain deadlocked.
