Iran claims a string of attacks on US targets across West Asia

US-Iran War Live Updates: The situation remains tense with Iran claiming a slew of attacks made in West Asia including an Amazon data centre in Bahrain.The developments come after the US launched strikes on Iran for the tenth consecutive night on Monday, showing no signs of tensions cooling despite reports of talks going on via mediators. Two oil tankers caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz and Yemen’s Houthis threatened to open a new front against Saudi Arabia.

US Central Command said the latest strikes targeted Iranian military command centres, maritime capabilities, missile and drone launch sites, and air defence systems. It said American forces had helped about 900 commercial vessels carrying 450 million barrels of crude oil transit the strait since early May.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said “massive fires” broke out aboard two tankers following an explosion and that their crews were being evacuated. It warned that “as long as America’s evils continue in the region, the Strait of Hormuz will be closed.”

Meanwhile, Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis announced a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia, potentially widening threats to global trade and energy supplies beyond the Gulf.
