US - Iran War still continues...

U.S. forces tighten their blockade on Iran, expanding air and sea operations near Qeshm Island and the Strait of Hormuz. A U.S. aircraft fires on an oil tanker attempting to breach the blockade near Kharg Island. Iran responds by urging Yemen’s Houthi movement to prepare threats against Bab el-Mandeb and Red Sea oil routes if the U.S. targets Iranian power grids. Kuwait and Bahrain report Iranian drone and missile attacks, while Jordan intercepts aerial threats. Iran also releases American detainee Dena Kurari as a claimed goodwill gesture.
