Live updates: US-Iran strikes; conflict widens with Houthis claiming Red Sea attacks

Key Points:

• US Secretary of State Marco Rubio claimed Iran is "begging" for a peace deal, while defending President Trump's threats to bomb Iranian bridges and power plants in retaliation for attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, describing it as "a head for an eye."
• Iran warned that targeting its civilian infrastructure would provoke a powerful and decisive "eye for an eye" response, with military officials threatening retaliation against US allies hosting American forces in the region.
• The conflict escalated as Iran-backed Houthi militants attacked two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, raising fears of a new front in regional violence and causing Brent crude oil prices to surge nearly 4% above $98 per barrel.
• The US military launched its 12th consecutive night of strikes against Iranian military and maritime targets aimed at degrading Iran's ability to threaten commercial vessels, while Iran claimed an oil tanker caught fire near the Strait of Hormuz after hitting a mined route.
• President Trump attended the dignified transfer of four US service members killed in the conflict with Iran, honoring those lost amid ongoing hostilities that have killed 18 US troops; the fallen included Lt. Tyler Feehan, Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, Sgt. Angel Rampersad, and Sgt. Michael Swinton.
