Direct military conflict between the US and Iran has escalated significantly, moving beyond proxy engagements to state-on-state strikes.

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.
