US strikes on Iran continue for a second day as President Trump condemns Tehran’s conduct, marking the most significant escalation since the collapse of the interim ceasefire.
- •The Guardian reports US strikes targeted southern Iran for a second consecutive day.

- •The precise tactical objectives and the specific military units targeted in this surge remain unconfirmed by independent observers.
The US military launched a second round of strikes against targets in southern Iran, marking the most intense fire exchange since the dissolution of an interim ceasefire. These operations follow President Donald Trump’s public condemnation of Tehran's recent conduct, which he described as 'very bad.' Unlike the previous period of relative stability, the current escalation suggests a breakdown in diplomatic guardrails that previously contained direct military engagement. Whether this two-day campaign signals a broader shift toward sustained offensive operations or a limited punitive action depends on Iran's capacity for retaliatory response in the coming 48 hours.
