The missile-range announcement marks a potentially significant escalation in the conflict involving Iran, the United States and regional allies. Iran did not specify a new maximum range, but the move could expand the set of targets it can threaten beyond the Middle East. Separately, authorities reported that airstrikes near Sanaa killed at least 27 people and wounded 36, while an unidentified tanker struck a mine east of the Strait of Hormuz and caught fire. The developments increase risks to civilian populations, commercial shipping and diplomatic efforts to prevent a wider war.[1]
