The ongoing US-Iran conflict has taken a dramatic turn with Iran launching missile attacks on Kuwait International Airport, causing severe damage and injuries. In response, the US conducted self-defence strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island.
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) claimed a 'retaliatory' missile strike on a cargo vessel, alleging that the US first attacked an Iranian commercial ship in the Sea of Oman.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, saying that Iran's 'firing on commercial ships' was the trigger behind the move.
Fresh attacks and counterattacks come amid stalled peace talks between the US and Iran, with claims that Tehran has stopped communicating with Washington on extending the ceasefire.
