## Resource

Tensions soar as the U.S. denies targeting civilians in recent airstrikes on Iran, insisting all strikes hit military infrastructure — while Iran claims bridges, airports, and train stations were hit, killing seven. The White House counters Iran’s own attacks on U.S. radar sites, power grids, and command centers in Oman, Kuwait, and Syria, accusing Tehran of targeting civilian vessels and neighbors. With the Strait of Hormuz still closed and the June ceasefire shattered, a tanker was struck near Oman — crew unharmed — underscoring the fragile peace and rising risk of wider war.
