After a pause on its bombing campaign against Iran, the US carried out fresh strikes in Iran on Wednesday, July 30, further intensifying a five-month-old war that was already expanding beyond its main fronts to embroil additional countries in the region.

Earlier, a drone hit a US-owned gas storage tanker at Egypt's Mediterranean port of Damietta, according to British maritime security firm Ambrey's initial assessment, while US and Saudi forces launched strikes against Iran-aligned groups in eastern Iraq and Iran fired missiles at US troops in Jordan.

The latest strikes threatened to draw more Middle Eastern countries into the conflict, after the Iran-aligned Houthis in Yemen last week declared a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia.
