Tensions between the United States and Iran have escalated after the IRGC claimed it launched missile and drone attacks against the US Navy's Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain. US Central Command rejected the claim, stating that all incoming threats were intercepted and neutralised. Meanwhile, American forces reportedly carried out a self-defence strike on Iran's Qeshm Island. The latest exchange highlights the growing risk of a wider confrontation in the Gulf, a region critical to global energy supplies and maritime trade.
