US Strikes Iran for Fourth Night as Blockade Reimposed and Rome Talks Continue (Jul 15, 0550 UTC, 0850 Israel) (Morning Edition)
The US launched a fourth consecutive night of strikes on Iranian military targets and reimposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports, while Iran retaliated with ballistic missile attacks on Jordan and strikes on US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain. President Trump reversed his plan for a 20% Hormuz toll, replacing it with Gulf investment deals, and threatened to bomb Iranian bridges and power plants unless talks resume. US-brokered talks between Israel and Lebanon continued in Rome, with Israel signaling readiness to withdraw from two pilot zones in south Lebanon.
