Trump turns Gulf into shooting gallery: 12th night of strikes as Iran vows ‘eye for an eye’ revenge

Gulf on edge as US strikes, Houthi attacks and oil surge reshape regional outlook

Iran warns the Strait of Hormuz will not return to pre-war conditions as Donald Trump threatens strikes over attacks on shipping.

Trump and his advisers scoffed at any suggestion that they were breaking repeated campaign promises not to start new conflicts, and to end America’s legacy of forever wars, especially in Afghanistan and Iraq.

This also comes after rebel Houthis in Yemen struck two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, further expanding the conflict.
