The US has conducted 13 consecutive nights of strikes targeting Iran's military, aiming to curb threats from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to commercial shipping. 

The conflict escalated after a ceasefire collapsed, with Iran and allies retaliating through missile and drone attacks on US partners in the Gulf. Key incidents include strikes near Iran's nuclear reactor and attacks on oil infrastructure, raising fears of regional instability impacting global energy supplies. Both sides warn of severe retaliation, intensifying a dangerous regional confrontation.
