US-Israel-Iran War Latest Live News: The war in the Middle East involving the US, Israel and Iran intensified as new military action spread across the Gulf region, raising fears of a wider Middle East war.
Fresh US airstrikes on Iranian military targets triggered a new wave of retaliation from Tehran, which threatened to block the Strait of Hormuz, claimed missile strikes on US military assets in Kuwait and prompted Bahrain to activate missile warning sirens.
With one of the world’s busiest oil routes facing disruption and tensions continuing to rise, governments and global markets remain on high alert.Â
US-Israel-Iran War Latest Live News: Iran Threatens to Block Strait of Hormuz
Iran warned that it could effectively shut down the Strait of Hormuz if the United States continued its military operations against the country. The latest warning came after fresh American airstrikes targeted several Iranian military installations, further escalating the conflict.
The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world’s most strategic maritime routes, with nearly one-fifth of global oil exports passing through it every day. Any disruption could significantly affect international energy supplies and drive fuel prices even higher.
Iran’s latest threat has increased concerns among global shipping companies, oil traders and governments that the conflict could have serious economic consequences far beyond the Middle East.
US-Israel-Iran War Latest Live News: ‘Not a Single Drop’ of Oil Will Pass Through Hormuz
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued one of its strongest warnings yet, declaring that the Strait of Hormuz would remain unsafe for oil, gas and petrochemical shipments as long as US military operations continued.
The IRGC said, “not a single drop of oil and gas” would pass through the strategic waterway while US “aggression” persists.
The force also claimed that two oil tankers were “exploded and brought to a halt” after attempting to use the southern shipping route through the strait, alleging the vessels had been encouraged by the US military to sail through that passage.
The threat immediately added pressure to global energy markets, with Brent crude climbing above USD 90 per barrel as investors reacted to fears of prolonged supply disruptions.
US-Israel-Iran War Latest Live News: Bahrain Activates Missile Sirens
Bahrain activated missile warning sirens across the country after Iran claimed it had launched retaliatory strikes against US military assets in the Gulf.
The Bahraini Ministry of Interior urged residents to remain calm and move immediately to the nearest safe location while authorities assessed the evolving security situation.
The kingdom hosts the headquarters of the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet, making it one of Washington’s most important military bases in the region. Authorities continued monitoring the airspace while emergency services remained on alert as tensions escalated.
US-Israel-Iran War Latest Live News: Kuwait Intercepts Hostile Drones
Kuwait also came under attack during Iran’s latest wave of retaliation. The Kuwaiti military confirmed that its air defence systems intercepted hostile drones approaching the country’s airspace.
Officials said defensive operations successfully engaged the incoming aerial threats and urged residents to rely only on official government updates.
Although no major damage was immediately reported, the incident highlighted how the conflict has expanded beyond direct fighting between Washington and Tehran.
US-Israel-Iran War Latest Live News: Iran Claims Missile Strikes on US Military Assets in Kuwait
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed responsibility for missile attacks targeting US military facilities in Kuwait. According to Iranian state media, the strikes formed part of Tehran’s response to continuing American military operations.
Kuwaiti authorities have not confirmed any damage to US installations, but security agencies remain on high alert as military activity continues across the Gulf. The latest claims underline Iran’s strategy of targeting American military assets stationed across the region while avoiding direct attacks on US territory.
US-Israel-Iran War Latest Live News: US Strikes Iran Again
The United States launched another round of airstrikes on Iranian military targets early Monday, marking the ninth consecutive night of operations.
According to US Central Command, American forces targeted command centres, missile and drone launch facilities, air defence systems, coastal surveillance sites, communications infrastructure and other military capabilities.
US President Donald Trump confirmed the latest operation, saying “We hit them very hard again tonight.” He added, “And we did that in honour of the” soldiers killed.
The strikes followed the death of another US service member in Iraq during the controlled detonation of a downed Iranian drone. Iranian state media reported explosions in southern and northwestern parts of the country, though officials did not immediately release casualty figures.
Meanwhile, a vessel caught fire near the Strait of Hormuz off the coast of Oman. British maritime authorities confirmed the incident, although the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
US-Israel-Iran War Latest Live News: What’s Next?
The latest military exchanges suggest that the conflict is entering a more dangerous phase, with attacks now affecting multiple Gulf countries and threatening one of the world’s most important energy corridors.
Washington has continued to signal that it remains open to negotiations despite expanding military operations.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, “We’re going to continue to respond. If the door opens to diplomacy – if the guys that want to do something productive for Iran win and take control of that system, or take control of the negotiations – that’ll be a very positive development. That’s not where we are tonight, unfortunately.”
