U.S. And Iranian forces are once again exchanging fire as the fight over control of the Strait of Hormuz escalates.
NPR's Hadeel Al-Shouti reports the Trump administration completed a second day of strikes on Iranian military targets.
That these strikes were a result of recent Iranian attempts to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz
and against American service members in the region.
Iran, of course, retaliated by targeting U.S.
Assets in Kuwait, Jordan, Bahrain, and Iraq.
The Iranian Guard Corps spokesperson said today that U.S.
Forces bombed military and civilian targets in southern Iran and caused civilian and military casualties.

Global finance leaders have wrapped up several days of G20 meetings in Asheville, North Carolina.
The Trump administration used the gathering to push for financial deregulation and stronger economic growth,
while also pointing to Asheville's recovery from Hurricane Helene.
But as Blue Ridge Public Radio's Laura Hackett reports,
many people in the region say that recovery is far from complete.
Erin Brown, Undersecretary for the Department of Treasury,
says the Trump administration chose Asheville as a G20 host to highlight the city's recovery from Hurricane Helene,
a storm that severely damaged the region nearly two years ago.
The Trump administration has been incredibly committed to rebuilding Asheville,
and it has been dispensing funds to the local community.
