US military carries out fresh strikes on Iran | BBC News

The US military said it has completed a "heavy wave" of strikes against Iran in retaliation for Tuesday's attempted ballistic missile attacks on American forces. Iran has responded by continuing attacks across the region. Jordan said it shot down five Iranian missiles, while Kuwait reports one person was killed in an Iranian strike. The conflict is now pulling in more countries. This week saw the first publicly announced joint US-Saudi strikes against Iranian proxies in Iraq. Egypt has also blamed a drone attack for a fire on two ships, marking the first time it has been targeted since the war began five months ago. With more countries being drawn in and diplomacy struggling to gain traction, are fears of a wider regional war becoming reality? On the Iran War Today, we bring you up to date with everything you need to know about the conflict and what might come next.
