The United States carried out airstrikes on Iran for a tenth consecutive night, extending a campaign that has kept tensions high across the Strait of Hormuz and the broader Gulf region.
The continued strikes come as shipping companies and regional governments monitor the risk of wider disruption to traffic through the strait, a critical corridor for global oil shipments. Iran has not signaled any indication of a ceasefire as the campaign enters its second week.
The prolonged military engagement has drawn concern from regional and international observers about the potential for further escalation, with maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz already affected by the heightened security risk in the area.
Officials have not disclosed specific targets struck in the latest round of strikes.
With the campaign now extending past a week and a half, shipping insurers and regional governments are watching closely for any sign of a shift in strategy from either side that could affect the security calculus around the strait.
