U.S. Strikes on Southern Iran Infrastructure Escalate Conflict

The U.S. military carried out strikes on strategic infrastructure in southern Iran, targeting tunnels, bridges, and other sites near the Strait of Hormuz. The attacks, confirmed by multiple sources, are believed to have disrupted Iranian military operations in the region. Iran's Foreign Minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, responded by declaring an 'eye for an eye' defense doctrine, signaling a potential shift toward more direct retaliation. The strikes are seen as a strategic move by the U.S. to disrupt Iran's capabilities in the area, with analysts noting the potential for further escalation.
