On July 8, the fragile US-Iran ceasefire collapsed. The day began with US CENTCOM announcing strikes on 80 military targets in southern Iran in retaliation for IRGC attacks on tankers. State-aligned outlets led with the martyred leader's funeral in Najaf, but by dawn, the IRGC claimed to have struck 85 US targets in Kuwait and Bahrain. Foreign-based media focused on the escalation, with NATO's chief endorsing the US strikes. In the afternoon, Trump declared the ceasefire 'finished' and threatened a severe strike tonight, possibly on Kharg Island. Oil prices jumped 5%. By evening, explosions were reported in Bandar Abbas and Sirik, and US officials warned of further attacks. Throughout, state media emphasized the massive funeral procession in Karbala, while exile outlets highlighted Trump's rhetoric and the economic fallout.
