US-Iran strikes: latest developments
ONP Summary
Following the breakdown of a ceasefire agreement, the United States and Iran have engaged in military strikes for seven consecutive nights, with the US conducting air attacks on Iranian targets while Iran retaliates by striking Gulf infrastructure. Both sides are escalating military capabilities amid threats of further expansion.
Progressive:Dangerous escalation spiral — progressive outlets emphasize US military buildup and expanding target scope as stoking uncontrolled conflict, with Iran threatening total offensive if strikes persist.
Moderate:Mutual military escalation — moderate outlets report documented military actions and infrastructure damage by both sides following ceasefire breakdown without emphasizing escalation risk language.
Conservative:Boundary testing after accord collapse — conservative outlets describe ongoing military actions as both sides testing limits within a failed ceasefire framework using neutral conflict terminology.
Hostilities in the Middle East intensified on Saturday after a seventh straight night of US attacks on Iran, with Tehran threatening a "full-scale offensive" in response and the strategic Strait of Hormuz remaining virtually closed.

Tehran threatened to resume "full-scale offensive operations" if US strikes continue over the coming days, Major General Mohsen Rezaei said, according to state-controlled news agency IRIB.
"Iran will no longer limit itself to retaliatory, like-for-like responses... and no political border will be safe," he said.
