US and Iran exchange nightly strikes, entering eighth day of conflict

The United States has launched its eighth consecutive night of air strikes against Iranian military sites, while Iran has hit U.S. bases in Jordan and infrastructure in Kuwait and other Gulf states. Both sides report rising civilian casualties, with Iran’s health ministry citing about 50 deaths and over 500 injuries from U.S. attacks, and U.S. officials confirming additional service‑member injuries. The fighting has pushed oil prices above $86 a barrel and led Iran to suspend the Islamabad memorandum with the United States.
