The conflict between the United States and Iran intensified sharply as both sides exchanged fresh strikes for a third consecutive day, drawing key American allies deeper into the confrontation. Jordan said it intercepted eight Iranian ballistic missiles after air raid sirens sounded across the kingdom, while Iranian media claimed U.S. bases in Jordan and Kuwait were targeted. Washington announced strikes on more than 170 Iranian military targets, including missile sites, drone depots, air defences, naval assets, and strategic infrastructure. The escalating exchanges have heightened fears of a broader regional conflict, with Gulf states remaining on high alert amid growing military tensions.
