A Flicker of Diplomacy in a Region on Fire The latest wave of attacks between the United States and Iran has left a trail of destruction across multiple countries, raising questions about the effectiveness of diplomacy in calming the tempests that have been brewing in the Middle East for months.
US forces have targeted sites in southern Iran, with Iranian media reports suggesting at least six bridges were struck in the Hormozgan province.
The impact is evident: power outages have been reported in southern Iran, with electricity slowly being restored to affected areas. Iran's retaliation has also caught several Gulf countries off guard.
