Live updates: US-Iran war news; American service members killed in Jordan

Key Points:

• Iran faces internal divisions as hardline factions accuse wartime leaders of a "soft coup," criticizing officials who negotiated with the US and alleging betrayal of revolutionary ideals amid the absence of visible Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei.
• The US has renewed daily military strikes on Iran and reinstated a naval blockade, with President Trump signaling intentions to escalate attacks, including on civilian infrastructure, while Vice President JD Vance and experts warn that military action alone cannot resolve control over the Strait of Hormuz.
• The conflict has caused significant regional instability, with Iran launching missile and drone attacks on US allies such as Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, and Qatar, damaging critical infrastructure including power and desalination plants, and resulting in casualties and widespread condemnation from Gulf states.
• Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), designated a terrorist organization by the US and allies, has vowed to respond to attacks with equal force, maintaining a cycle of escalation with US strikes targeting bridges, tunnels, and transport infrastructure across Iran.
• Diplomatic efforts to sustain ceasefires have faltered amid ongoing hostilities, raising fears of a broader regional war as the US and Iran continue reciprocal military actions, with Gulf states caught in the crossfire and the Strait of Hormuz's traffic severely disrupted.
