US and Iran trade attacks as Khamenei is buried

Key Points:

• The US and Iran engaged in renewed military strikes, with the US targeting 90 Iranian military sites near the Strait of Hormuz, while Iran reported 14 deaths and retaliated by striking US assets in Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan, and Iraq.
• The conflict has caused a significant drop in maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, with ship numbers falling from around 130 daily before the conflict to single digits on the US-backed southern route, severely impacting shipping and seafarers.
• Iran held large funeral gatherings for its late supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in the initial US and Israeli strikes, amid heightened anti-US sentiment and threats directed at President Trump.
• US Central Command stated their strikes aimed to degrade Iran's ability to attack commercial shipping, while Iran condemned the US actions as war crimes and vowed to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed under Iranian terms.
• Despite a ceasefire agreement signed last month, President Trump declared the deal "over" and expressed skepticism about further negotiations, while Iran's officials insisted on continued resistance and warned the US against further aggression.
