Summary
The United States attacked Iran on Sunday, targeting 140 sites, including missile and drone launch sites, ammunition dumps, and communication equipment. The strikes were in response to an Iranian attack on a container ship in the Strait of Hormuz, which set it ablaze and left one crew member missing. Iran retaliated by attacking several countries in the Middle East, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, and Oman. The fighting has raised concerns about the interim deal between Iran and the US, which aimed to reach a permanent end to the war. The deal’s midway point is approaching, and negotiations are in danger of collapse.
