Last night, US forces launched another series of strikes on Iran, marking the seventh consecutive night of military operations since President Donald Trump declared the ceasefire agreement with the Islamic Republic void. The US Central Command confirmed the ongoing operations.

In response, Iran reported carrying out retaliatory strikes against US military targets in the Middle East. Both sides continue to exchange attacks, and the rhetoric indicates that the conflict is likely to escalate further.

It remains unclear how long this military activity will persist. The regional situation remains tense, and the international community is closely monitoring developments. Analysts warn that without direct diplomatic intervention, the conflict could expand to a larger scale.
