The United States conducted further strikes against targets in Iran overnight, focusing on locations near the Strait of Hormuz. Following the attacks, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard announced it had targeted two ships in the same strategic waterway. Tehran has issued a warning that all vessels attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz could be subject to attack. Experts describe the situation as a significant escalation of tensions between the two nations. The strikes represent a second consecutive night of US action against Iranian interests. This reciprocal exchange of attacks raises concerns about a potential broadening of the conflict in the Middle East, impacting vital shipping lanes. SVT’s Middle East correspondent, Gilda Hamidi-Nia, confirms the escalating nature of the situation.
