## Resource

U.S. strikes on Iran escalate rapidly, targeting bridges, roads, and infrastructure near Tehran after Iran resumes attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz — a move that triggered renewed U.S. military action and a re-imposed blockade. While not as intense as early war strikes, the new offensive has disrupted Iran’s transport and water systems, killing over 3,400 since the conflict began — including 55 in the latest wave. Iran retaliates with increased attacks on U.S. bases and ships, killing four American soldiers, while Israel remains untouched. Despite U.S. claims of weakening Iran’s threat capability, Tehran insists it’s rebuilding and adapting — and won’t back down.
