US‑Iran war escalates as Trump orders new strikes and Hormuz blockade

President Donald Trump reimposed a naval blockade of Iranian ports and warned that U.S. forces would target Iranian power plants and bridges unless Tehran resumed negotiations. The United States launched a series of airstrikes – the third consecutive night of attacks – against Iranian coastal defence systems, missile and drone sites, and facilities in the Strait of Hormuz and cities such as Bushehr, Bandar Abbas and Konarak.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps responded with missile and drone attacks on U.S. installations in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan, and claimed strikes on U.S. Fifth Fleet assets. Regional allies, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, reported explosions and heightened alerts.

The renewed fighting disrupted global oil flows; Brent crude rose to about $85 a barrel, its highest level in weeks, and Asian markets opened higher on the news. Analysts warned that continued escalation could keep oil prices elevated and further destabilise the Middle‑East shipping lanes.
