The United States is deploying up to 5,000 additional service personnel and warships to the Middle East following the deaths of six American crew members in Iraq and ongoing Iranian attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has launched cluster bomb strikes on central Israel while Iranian leaders publicly demonstrate defiance during Quds Day rallies. The US has intensified airstrikes, with over 15,000 targets hit by US and Israeli forces since the conflict began, and is offering a $10 million reward for information on key Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps leaders.
