The three-month conflict in the Middle East just escalated violently. The United States launched fresh military strikes on Iran overnight. US Central Command confirmed a second consecutive day of self-defense strikes. Iran absolutely refused to quietly take the hit. Tehran immediately warned they will target any vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. This strategic waterway handles a massive chunk of global oil supplies. Washington claims commercial traffic continues moving through the dangerous passage. However, shipping companies are watching the crossfire with extreme anxiety.

Collateral Damage Spreads Across the Gulf

The violence quickly spilled over Iranian borders today. Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed they struck bases in Kuwait and Bahrain. They say these attacks retaliate against US military assets in those nations. Kuwait panicked and completely shut down its airspace early Thursday morning. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation halted all commercial flights. They needed to safeguard passenger planes from incoming military fire. Kuwait Airways temporarily suspended operations to protect civilian lives. Fortunately, Kuwait reopened its skies a few agonizing hours later. Air traffic slowly returned to normal, but the regional tension remains volatile.

Missiles Spotted in Jordanian Skies

The absolute chaos did not stop at the Gulf today. The United States issued a severe warning about attacks in Jordan. Reports indicated missiles, drones, or rockets actively flying through Jordanian airspace. Authorities ordered local people to seek immediate overhead cover. Residents had to shelter in place and stay indoors. The US Embassy in Jordan continues to monitor the deteriorating situation. Nobody knows exactly where the next drone will land. The entire region sits on a razor's edge this afternoon. One wrong move in the Strait of Hormuz could tank the global economy.
