US Iran War Latest News Updates Today Live: The US military said on Wednesday that it had launched a new round of strikes on Iran to ensure the Strait of Hormuz remained open to maritime traffic. Meanwhile, Kuwait’s military announced on Thursday that its air defence systems had intercepted “hostile missile and drone attacks.”

The latest escalation has raised fears of a renewed conflict in West Asia. It followed US strikes on several Iranian military installations and port facilities a day after Iran targeted multiple merchant vessels off the coast of Oman.
