## Resource

US airstrikes hit Iran overnight, targeting key infrastructure including an airport, railway station, and bridges — sparking retaliatory strikes that claim 38 Iranian lives and injure over 400. Iran fires missiles at US jets and tankers in Jordan, which are intercepted; meanwhile, Kuwait’s desalination plant is attacked, and Qatar and Bahrain face missile threats. US forces board an Iranian ship in the Gulf to enforce a renewed blockade, escalating tensions that have shattered a fragile ceasefire and rattled global energy markets.
