Live: US-Iran diplomatic efforts shattered by seventh night of bombardment and maritime attacks
A memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the United States and Iran is on the brink of collapse following a violent escalation that threatens to ignite a wider regional conflict. US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced a fresh wave of air strikes on Friday at 3 p.m. Eastern Time (1900 GMT), marking the seventh consecutive night of bombardment aimed at degrading Iran's military capabilities. The intensifying crisis spread to critical maritime corridors concurrently, as Iran's revolutionary guards reported that two oil tankers had exploded in the strategic Strait of Hormuz shipping choke point.
Iranian state media reported widespread explosions across multiple provinces on Friday night immediately following the CENTCOM announcement, with the latest strikes leaving three people dead and eight others injured.
