What happened
The United States and Iran carried out fresh strikes against each other on Saturday. The U.S. Central Command said its seventh straight night of attacks targeted surveillance sites, logistics infrastructure, underground weapons storage, and maritime capabilities. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said Tehran was no longer implementing commitments under the interim deal with the United States.
UPSC can frame the issue as a case study in escalation control, the fragility of interim diplomatic arrangements, and the strategic risks to energy and maritime infrastructure in West Asia. A mains answer can connect U.S.-Iran strikes to regional instability, protection of critical infrastructure, and the implications for India’s energy imports and diaspora security.
