US launches a second day of strikes on Iran and Iran fires back at the Gulf states and Jordan

The U.S. and Iran exchanged strikes for a second day, with the U.S. targeting Iranian military sites and Iran retaliating against Gulf states and Jordan. An Indian official reported three mariners killed in a U.S. attack on an oil tanker, while Iran claimed to have closed the Strait of Hormuz, though the U.S. disputes this. Negotiations to end the conflict remain stalled.
