## Resource

U.S. military strikes hit Iran’s Hormozgan province, killing at least seven and wounding over 400, as tensions escalate around the Strait of Hormuz. Iran retaliated by targeting Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait — including a critical desalination plant in Kuwait — while a tanker suffered minor damage in the strait. With infrastructure and civilian lives at risk, the region teeters on the brink of further chaos. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
