US airbase targeted by Iran in latest exchange of attacks
The US and Iran have engaged in a series of retaliatory military strikes, including attacks on Iranian military sites and a US airbase. These hostilities continue despite ongoing diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict.
Why it matters
The escalation threatens regional stability and global energy prices due to the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz.
The US said it struck Iranian military sites at the weekend and Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on Monday it had targeted a US base in response, the latest exchange of attacks amid negotiations to end the three-month-old war.
The article balances claims from both the US and Iranian military sources.
