US and Iran exchange strikes as Trump escalates military action

The United States launched a second night of airstrikes against targets across Iran, escalating military action after stalled peace talks. Iran responded by striking a US air base in Jordan and claiming to have destroyed fighter jets, while a ship with an Indian crew also came under attack in the exchange.

President Trump threatened further escalation, and the ceasefire between the two countries appears increasingly fragile. The strikes have raised questions about potential war crimes, including a reported hit on a water facility in Iran.
