US launches ninth night of strikes on Iran after death of third soldier confirmed

United States forces have launched strikes on Iran for a ninth consecutive night following the military confirmation that a third soldier was killed. This escalation occurs as a preliminary deal aimed at ending the war has collapsed due to a deadlock over the strait of Hormuz. Additionally, Bahrain, which hosts the US Fifth Fleet, reported that air raid sirens sounded, with the interior ministry urging citizens and residents to remain calm and seek the nearest safe place.
