Fresh US strikes have hit targets across Iran, including Tehran, Bushehr and key port areas, as fighting between Washington and Tehran escalates despite a ceasefire agreed in April. The US says the operation aims to reduce Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for global trade. Iran responded with attacks on US-linked targets in the region, while concerns are growing that tensions could disrupt shipping in both the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, adding pressure to global energy markets.
