The conflict between the United States and Iran is intensifying as the US Central Command confirmed continued attacks on Iran for the seventh straight day. These strikes began early Saturday AEST and represent an ongoing escalation of hostilities. Details regarding the specific targets remain limited, but previous reports indicate bridges and a water plant have been hit. Simultaneously, further attacks on ships in the region have been reported, contributing to the broadening scope of the conflict. The continued exchange of attacks raises concerns about a wider regional war. There is currently no indication of when or how these strikes might de-escalate. This marks a significant shift, showing the willingness of both sides to continue military action.
