Middle East conflict continues with US strikes and Iranian retaliation claims

Military actions persist in the Middle East, with the United States continuing its strikes against Iran. Iran's Revolutionary Guards have asserted they conducted retaliatory attacks on American military installations in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan, following earlier claims of targeting US bases in the Gulf region. Concurrently, the US Vice President acknowledged "divergences" with Israel regarding the ongoing conflict. Former US President Donald Trump reiterated his intention for the US to "strike Iran hard again" and "take total control of their oil and gas markets" after reports of a destroyed US helicopter. The United States has also issued warnings of additional severe strikes against Iran. Sources: Le Monde
