US launches second consecutive night of strikes on Iran

The US military has struck multiple targets inside Iran for a second straight night, citing Tehran's continued drone attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump has threatened to "militarily complete the job" as air raid sirens sounded in Bahrain and Kuwait, signaling the conflict is rattling the broader Gulf region. The strikes hit sites on Sirik and Qeshm Island, with Centcom confirming the action as a direct response to an Iranian drone hitting a cargo vessel on Saturday.
