US launches new strikes as Iran warns of regional turmoil

The United States has launched a 12th consecutive night of strikes against targets in Iran, with CENTCOM stating the actions aim to "further degrade Iran’s ability to threaten civilian mariners and commercial vessels." Iranian media reported attacks in southern Iran, including Bushehr and Ahvaz, while a missile strike on the Shalamcheh border crossing killed two and wounded 11. Kuwait also reported confronting an Iranian drone attack. Iran's chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, warned that "no infrastructure will be safe" if Iran's security is not ensured, echoing threats from other Iranian officials. Iran's Ministry of Health claims US attacks have killed 53 people and injured 590 since late last month. Iran has retaliated with attacks on US allies, including a strike in Jordan that killed three US service members. Both sides have indicated they have abandoned an interim peace deal, with escalating tensions raising concerns about regional stability.
