US-Iran War Live Updates: The US and Iran exchanged fresh military strikes, deepening their direct confrontation and pushing a fragile three-week-old ceasefire closer to collapse. Iran retaliated by launching missiles and drones at US military infrastructure in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and Jordan after Washington carried out another wave of strikes on Iranian targets, saying the operation was aimed at protecting commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran accused the US of interfering in the strategic waterway and warned that any further intervention would draw a "crushing response", insisting the strait would reopen only under Iranian supervision. The escalation unfolded as Iran buried slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei at the Shrine of Imam Reza in Mashhad, where thousands of mourners carrying Iranian flags and portraits of the late leader gathered for his funeral, with some displaying banners reading "We Will Kill Trump". Iranian officials said recent US strikes killed 14 people and wounded 78 across five provinces, while fresh explosions were reported in Bushehr and Bandar Abbas, including near the perimeter of Iran's only operational nuclear power plant. Kuwait said it intercepted missiles and drones targeting US military assets, while Jordan reported shooting down several incoming missiles. Qatar condemned attacks on commercial shipping but urged all sides to return to diplomacy, as Turkey and Oman also called for restraint in separate talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi.
