US and Iran Exchange Further Strikes Amid Escalating Conflict

The United States has conducted its sixth consecutive night of strikes against Iran, targeting military communication systems and fuel facilities. Iran reported new attacks near Qeshm Island and condemned a US strike near a children's hospital. The ongoing hostilities have resulted in a US naval blockade of Iranian ports and a significant reduction in tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, raising concerns for global trade and energy markets. Pakistan has called for negotiations to de-escalate the situation.
