US forces extended their air campaign against targets inside Iran into a seventh consecutive night. The strikes continue to focus on military and strategic facilities as part of the conflict that escalated sharply over the past week.
Iran has kept up retaliatory strikes against US allies in the region. Kuwaiti officials confirmed that a power and water plant in the country had been hit, underscoring how civilian infrastructure has become a direct target of the conflict.
The conflict entering its seventh night suggests the two sides remain far from any near-term resolution. Other countries in the region have stepped up defensive preparations against the risk of spillover onto their own territory.
