Event Summary

Iran declared a 'full-scale war' with the United States on July 20, 2026, as US strikes expanded to Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Bushehr, home to Iran's only civilian nuclear power plant, and other northern and central provinces. The conflict resumed after a weeks-long lull following a June truce. Iran reimposed its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of world oil supplies once transited, and the US blockaded Iran's ports. Oil prices surged to a one-month high. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) struck targets in Bahrain, Jordan, Syria, and Kuwait, including an attack on King Hussein International Airport and destruction of a Kuwaiti radar system. The US reported three new military fatalities, bringing total American deaths to 17 since the conflict began. Diplomatic exchanges via mediators, including Pakistan, continue.
