Summary
Iran’s president declares full-scale war on the U.S. as strikes escalate across the region, targeting civilian and military sites from Bushehr to Jordan and Syria. The Strait of Hormuz blockade has reignited a dangerous standoff, triggering soaring oil prices and fresh casualties on both sides — including American military deaths and Iranian civilian injuries. Despite diplomatic efforts through mediators, Tehran stands firm on its red line: no foreign threats through Hormuz. Meanwhile, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards boast attacks on U.S. radar and aircraft, while U.S. forces respond with port blockades and intensified strikes — turning the Middle East into a flashpoint of global consequence.
