Red Sea Attacks Widen Iran War; Secret Service Sees Threat Surge

U.S. military targets Iranian maritime and air defense capabilities as Houthis claim attacks on Saudi tankers, intensifying concerns over regional shipping and oil supplies.

  • U.S. forces completed a 12th consecutive night of strikes inside Iran on Thursday, targeting maritime capabilities, missile sites, and air defenses aimed at reducing Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping.
  • President Donald Trump warned he will "bomb and destroy" Iranian infrastructure every time Tehran shoots at ships in the Strait of Hormuz, escalating rhetoric after Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels attacked two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea.
  • Four American service members killed in Iranian attacks were honored by Trump at Dover Air Force Base on Wednesday, with the soldiers having served in air defense units protecting U.S. forces in Jordan and Iraq.
  • Iranian officials claimed they struck a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, with a second vessel reportedly turning back after the first caught fire, as the conflict spreads beyond Iran's borders into critical shipping lanes.
  • Twelve straight nights of strikes have opened new fronts in the conflict since late February, causing 18 American service member deaths and prompting officials to acknowledge that regional security risks continue to escalate.
