Summary
Iran’s president declares full-scale war on the U.S. as strikes escalate across the region, with both sides hitting key targets — including Iran’s nuclear site and ports — sparking a dangerous oil price surge and mounting casualties. Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has reignited tensions, prompting U.S. counter-blockades and nightly airstrikes. Despite diplomatic efforts through mediators and Iranian officials traveling to Pakistan, Tehran remains resolute, vowing to defend its security. With 17 U.S. troops and over 50 Iranians dead, the world watches as this volatile conflict spirals deeper into regional chaos.
