Iran Retaliates for US Strikes, Targets Kuwaiti Desalination Plant
The United States and Iran intensified their conflict across the Middle East on Friday, engaging in a series of retaliatory strikes targeting vital infrastructure and military sites. U.S. forces expanded their attacks on Iran, hitting bridges and energy facilities, and collapsing a tower at a key port. In response, Iran launched missiles into U.S.-allied nations, including Qatar and Kuwait, damaging a water desalination plant. This escalation occurs amidst a fierce battle for control of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy route, with no clear end to the conflict in sight.
