Iran Strikes

The US launched a two-hour wave of strikes across southern Iran, targeting IRGC assets in Bushehr, Qeshm, Abadan, Kish, and Ahvaz, in retaliation for an IRGC ballistic missile attack on a US airbase in Jordan. Casualties are reported on Qeshm Island. Hezbollah conducted a drone strike on an IDF vehicle in southern Lebanon, the first since the late-June ceasefire framework. In Gaza, Israeli airstrikes killed at least three Palestinians, including a child, amid a collapsing health system. Prime Minister Netanyahu met with President Trump at the White House, with Trump signaling both a willingness to strike Iran hard and openness to a deal.
