Event details
U.S. Central Command said it completed a sixth consecutive night of strikes against dozens of Iranian military sites. Iran retaliated with strikes against U.S.-linked targets in Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and Syria, and reportedly told Houthi forces to prepare to disrupt Red Sea shipping if the U.S. targets Iran's power infrastructure.
Context
Six straight nights turns this from a strike-and-pause cycle into a sustained campaign, and the Houthi/Red Sea threat shows Iran is now positioning a second maritime chokepoint as leverage alongside Hormuz.
