The United States carried out fresh airstrikes across Iran early on July 9, while Tehran responded by targeting US-allied countries in the Middle East, deepening fears that a fragile interim ceasefire could collapse. The exchange followed warnings from US President Donald Trump after recent attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, raising fresh concern over a wider regional war and disruption to energy shipments through the key waterway.

The latest round of attacks appeared broader than earlier exchanges. Sirens sounded at least three times in Bahrain, which hosts the US Navy's 5th Fleet headquarters, while missiles were aimed at Kuwait and Qatar. Sirens also sounded in Jordan, where the US has troops and aircraft, as both sides traded strikes that again put the ceasefire under strain.
