Strikes have pounded various sites around the Middle East as the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran have prompted it to retaliate across the region.
The war began on Feb. 28 with American and Israeli strikes on Iran that killed its supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The United States and Israel have hit thousands of targets in Iran. Israel has also struck Lebanon, home to the Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah.
Iran and its allies have attacked on Israel as well as Persian Gulf countries, including Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. American bases and other assets in the region have been hit, along with civilian buildings.
The Strait of Hormuz, through which one-fifth of the world’s oil travels, remained a choke point that threatened the world’s energy supply, sending oil prices sharply higher than before the war and roiling global markets.
