The U.S. military has launched a series of strikes against targets in Iran, spanning the country from south to north, in response to President Donald Trump's threats over Red Sea shipping. The strikes, which took place on Friday, targeted locations as far north as the Caspian coast.
The move is seen as a response to Iran's involvement in the ongoing conflict in Yemen, where its Houthi allies have been targeting shipping vessels in the Red Sea. The U.S. has vowed to protect its interests in the region and prevent further disruptions to global trade. The strikes are a significant escalation of tensions between the U.S. and Iran, and are likely to have far-reaching implications for the region.
