The United States says Iran’s ability to threaten ships in the Strait of Hormuz has been “degraded” after bombing an underground missile site. US Central Command shared the update this week. The development comes as tensions rise in the region. Iran fired a missile at Dimona in southern Israel, injuring at least 47 people. The target was near a nuclear facility. Earlier, Israel struck Iran’s Natanz nuclear site. Tehran said there was no danger to nearby areas. Despite the damage, Iranian forces have continued attacks in the Gulf. G7 foreign ministers have called for an “immediate” end to strikes and warned about risks to global energy supply. (PC: BBC)
