US and Iran Trade Strikes for 10th Night; Experts Warn of 'Cycle of Enhanced Risk'

The United States has bombed Iran for a tenth consecutive night, following the killing of American soldiers in Jordan and Iraq. Washington continues to call for an end to Iranian attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz—a key shipping route for global oil. Iran says it is now at "full scale war" with the US. Experts warn that there is no easy way to stop the conflict, even though both countries show signs they want to de-escalate. The situation remains stuck in what analysts call a "cycle of enhanced risk," where each strike increases the chance of a wider war.
