The US military has conducted strikes against targets in Iran for the twelfth consecutive night. An attack on the Shalamcheh border crossing with Iraq reportedly killed two people. The US claims these operations aim to reduce Iranian attacks on civilians and commercial shipping in the region. Meanwhile, Kuwait reported shooting down drones likely originating from Iran. Parallel to these events, Houthi rebels claim to have hit two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea. This follows the rebels' announcement of a maritime blockade against Saudi Arabia. Saudi officials confirmed one ship was hit, causing a fire on the bow, though all crew members were evacuated safely.
