The conflict between the United States and Iran intensified overnight, marking the tenth consecutive night of military strikes as tensions continue to rise over control of the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.

U.S. President Donald Trump vowed retaliation following the deaths of American troops, reaffirming that the United States would continue military operations against Iranian targets. The latest wave of strikes is reported to have targeted military infrastructure linked to Iran.

In response, Iran announced that it had launched missiles targeting a U.S. military base in Kuwait, describing the attack as retaliation for continued American airstrikes. Officials have not yet confirmed the extent of damage or casualties resulting from the strike.

Meanwhile, maritime security concerns continue to grow after the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Agency (UKMTO) reported that another commercial tanker was hit while transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The incident further heightens fears over the safety of one of the world's busiest shipping routes, through which a significant share of global oil supplies passes.

Separately, Saudi Arabia condemned the Houthi movement's blockade in the Red Sea, calling it a threat to international navigation and regional stability. Riyadh urged the international community to take action to ensure freedom of maritime trade and prevent further disruption to global shipping.
