The record
Written from the 2 reports below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The US military has carried out another night of airstrikes on Iran, hitting military targets and communication networks, as Iran continues attacks on American bases in Kuwait, Jordan, Bahrain and Iraq.
- The standoff centres on the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway through which about a fifth of the world's oil and gas normally flows, and shipping there has slumped while Brent crude has climbed above $90 a barrel.
- The report says more than 50 people have been killed and over 500 wounded in Iran, with at least 17 American service members dead since the escalation began.
- A US-Iran interim peace deal signed a month ago has largely collapsed, flight cancellations are spreading across the Middle East, and both sides remain locked in a contest over shipping rights in the strait.
What to watch next
- Whether Qatar and Pakistan's mediation efforts lead to any ceasefire talks, given Iran says it will not negotiate under attack
- Any US-Iran agreement over shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, which the report says is the key block to stalled talks
- Further escalation from the US, including the incoming F-35 and F-16 warplanes, and whether Trump widens the scope of targets
