US Launches Tenth Consecutive Night of Strikes on Iran

The US has carried out its tenth straight night of strikes against Iranian targets, with explosions reported in Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island, and Chabahar. Three American troops have been killed and nearly 100 injured over the past two weeks, prompting Democrats to accuse Trump of having "lost control of this war." Iran has retaliated by attacking US sites across the region, including a strike on Kuwait.
