Hyderabad, July 24 -- On the 37th day after the signing of the memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran, and 146 days since the outbreak of the war, the United States carried out a 13th consecutive night of strikes on Iranian military targets on Friday, July 24, as Gulf countries remained on high alert over fears of a wider regional conflict.

Iran claimed it had launched drone attacks on US-linked military bases in Bahrain and Jordan, while authorities reported fresh casualties following overnight strikes. The latest escalation also disrupted commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, prompted fresh travel advisories and fuelled concerns over global oil supplies.
