After ceasefire collapse, U.S. expands attacks on Iranian infrastructure to gain control of the Strait of Hormuz

Following the collapse of a recent ceasefire, the United States expanded airstrikes against Iranian infrastructure, targeting bridges, energy sites, and a key port tower to pressure Tehran regarding the Strait of Hormuz. In response, Iran launched missile attacks against U.S.-allied nations, including Qatar and Kuwait, damaging a critical desalination plant. The region continues to face escalating back-and-forth attacks as the U.S. and Iran battle for control over the strategic maritime waterway.
