Summary
Sirens blared across Bahrain as a fire erupted, just as U.S. forces wrapped up their 13th night of strikes on Iran — escalating regional tensions already simmering near the Strait of Hormuz. Hours earlier, Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed they hit two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, hinting at a widening conflict as oil prices surge past $100 a barrel. Explosions rocked Iran’s Qeshm Island — a critical hub for naval drones — and other Iranian sites, while state media reported four dead and five injured in a U.S. missile strike near Ahvaz. U.S. Central Command says the strikes aim to dismantle Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, which carries one-fifth of global oil and gas. The standoff shows no signs of easing. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
