US launches second night of strikes against Iran after ship struck by drone

The U.S. has launched a second night of retaliatory strikes against Iran following an incident where an Iranian drone allegedly hit a commercial ship in the Strait of Hormuz. This escalation heightens tensions in a region already fraught with geopolitical complexities. The strikes underscore the U.S.'s response to what it views as aggressive actions by Iran, potentially impacting global maritime trade routes and international relations. The situation could further destabilize the already fragile balance of power in the Middle East.
