Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday until further notice, prompting the US to launch a fresh wave of strikes on about 140 military targets. The escalation follows attacks on three commercial tankers, which Iranian officials reportedly called a mistake by a rogue faction. Washington urged Tehran to reopen the strait and stop firing on vessels. Meanwhile, Gaza faces a worsening medical emergency as promised aid convoys have not arrived since the cease-fire.
