A likely U.S. strike hit the central Iranian city of Isfahan early Tuesday, sending a massive fireball into the sky, while Tehran struck a fully loaded Kuwaiti oil tanker in the Persian Gulf.
The attacks underscored the intensity of the monthlong war between Iran and the U.S.-Israel coalition. Iran has maintained a chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting a vital energy route, driving oil prices sharply higher and unsettling global markets.
U.S. President Donald Trump posted video of the Isfahan attack, showing fiery explosions lighting the night. Isfahan is one of three Iranian sites hit earlier by U.S. forces in June; some highly enriched uranium is believed to be stored or buried at facilities there. (Agencies)
