The United States struck bridges and an airport in Iran on Friday, in a move that has escalated tensions between the two nations. The attack, which targeted critical infrastructure, has raised concerns about the potential for further escalation.
Tehran responded to the US attack by hitting a power and desalination plant in Kuwait, a move that has been widely condemned by the international community. The escalation of the conflict has raised fears about the potential for a wider conflict in the region, and the impact on global shipping and trade.
