Explosions Are Seen over the Southern Jordanian City of Aqaba as Iran
Iran fired missiles and drones after U.S. strikes hit multiple targets, while attacks near the Strait of Hormuz disrupted civilian sites and shipping routes.
- On Tuesday, explosions were seen over the southern Jordanian city of Aqaba as Iran retaliated for U.S. military strikes, escalating hostilities in an intermittent war lasting more than six months.

- Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard warned that attacks have strengthened the Islamic Republic's resolve, tightening its effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz through which 20% of the world's oil normally flows.
- Crude oil prices have jumped more than 50% this year, rising about 7% this week, while U.S. regular gasoline reached $4.10 according to AAA, up from $3.19 last year.
- Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signaled Tuesday the Islamic Republic remains ready to return to the June interim ceasefire deal if Washington reciprocates, though that agreement crumbled shortly after its 60-day negotiation period.
