The US completed its seventh straight night of airstrikes on Iranian infrastructure, targeting bridges, ports, and a desalination plant that supplies water to 10,000 people. Iran responded by suspending its ceasefire commitments and promising retaliation. The State Department issued a worldwide travel warning as the cycle of strikes and counter-strikes intensified.
This isn't a one-off escalation — it's a breakdown of the restraint that had held for months. Both sides are now operating without the implicit agreement that kept previous rounds limited. The desalination plant strike is particularly significant because it targets civilian infrastructure, suggesting the conflict is moving beyond military-to-military exchanges. Iran's decision to abandon ceasefire terms removes what little brake existed on the cycle.
