After ceasefire collapse, U.S. expands attacks on Iranian infrastructure to gain control of the Strait of Hormuz

Tensions in the Middle East have escalated as the U.S. intensified its airstrikes against Iranian infrastructure, targeting bridges, energy sites, and a port tower to assert control over the Strait of Hormuz. This aggressive move follows the collapse of a ceasefire and comes amid Iran's retaliatory missile strikes against U.S.-allied nations like Qatar and Kuwait. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global shipping route, and control over it has significant geopolitical implications, making this escalation a major flashpoint in international relations.
