US and Iran attack infrastructure, raising fears of escalation

The United States struck bridges in Iran, and Iran responded by targeting a power and desalination plant in Kuwait on Friday. These actions, which involved attacking infrastructure, raise concerns about further escalation between the two nations. Concurrently, US Marines boarded a tanker near the Strait of Hormuz amidst ongoing conflict that has disrupted energy supplies from the Gulf. Separately, armed individuals seized another vessel off the coast of Yemen, heightening worries about the security of oil shipments through the Red Sea choke point.
