US Strikes Iran for Second Night, Hitting 90 Targets and Shattering June Peace Deal

The United States launched roughly 90 air strikes on Iranian military targets July 9, including sites in Tehran, following a Wednesday barrage hitting 80 targets. This represents the largest escalation since the US and Iran signed a ceasefire agreement in June. At least 14 people were killed across both nights. Iran responded by firing on US military assets in Gulf states. Trump declared the June memorandum of understanding "over" and revoked sanctions relief on Iranian oil that underpinned the deal.
