US launches more airstrikes against Iran after announcing another death of a service member
Central Command said the strikes targeted Iranian command centers, air defenses and missile launch sites as shipping disruptions and retaliatory attacks spread across the region.
- The United States conducted a ninth straight night of airstrikes early Monday targeting Iranian missile bases near Tabriz, while Iran responded by launching attacks against Bahrain, home to the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet, and Kuwait.
- Tensions surged as an interim deal aimed at ending the war crumbled, largely stalling shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, while the U.S. reimposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports redirecting six ships since Saturday.
- Iranian authorities claimed Sunday that at least 50 people were killed and 517 wounded in recent strikes, as benchmark Brent crude rose above $90 a barrel, fueling a global energy crisis.
- U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters the U.S. remains open to "real" diplomacy, while former Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif acknowledged Monday the interim deal failed, urging a new security framework.
- With 17 U.S. service members killed since February 28, the situation remains volatile as Zarif warned that if Iran continues threatening maritime traffic, it risks turning much of the world against it.
