Eighth Night of Airstrikes: Markets on Edge as Trump Vows to Hit Iran ‘Extremely Hard’

The United States conducted nine consecutive nights of airstrikes targeting Iranian military infrastructure and capabilities to attack commercial shipping near the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald Trump stated these actions were taken to honor three American service members killed in recent days, including two at a Jordanian air base and one in Iraq. U.S. Central Command confirmed the completion of these operations after Iran reportedly fired ballistic missiles during the ongoing conflict.
