The United States has launched extensive overnight strikes against Iran after what Washington describes as attempted attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and elsewhere. Iran and the U.S. are now back on a war footing, with Iran accusing the U.S. of killing civilians in a strike on a wedding and vowing retaliation. Regional allies are on high alert as fears grow that the confrontation could widen into a broader Middle East war.
