• •The Guardian reports 14 killed and 78 injured in US strikes on Iranian targets over two nights.
• •Iran has launched retaliatory strikes against US military bases located in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar.
• •The official status of the interim truce remains unverified, as casualty figures provided by the Iranian health ministry have not been independently corroborated.

President Trump declared the interim truce with Iran over after the US military struck 170 targets across the region. This escalation follows reports of retaliatory Iranian drone and missile strikes on US installations in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar. While the intensity of these exchanges marks a sharp departure from the recent diplomatic cooling, the actual scale of infrastructure damage on both sides remains obscured by conflicting reports. The situation is now entering a high-risk phase where the threshold for a wider regional conflict depends on whether Iran chooses to broaden its counter-strikes beyond current US base targets.
