US-Iran Direct Military Exchange Escalates, Targeting Tankers and Regional Bases

Direct military conflict between the US and Iran has escalated significantly, moving beyond proxy engagements to state-on-state strikes. US forces reportedly destroyed five Iranian tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf of Oman following an IRGC missile attack on a US Navy warship. Iran has retaliated with rocket and missile attacks on US bases in Jordan and on vessels off Kuwait and Bahrain, while also seizing a US drone in the Strait of Hormuz.
