The U.S. military struck Iranian targets on Thursday, its second such action in three days, and described the operations as defensive. The strikes came amid fragile ceasefire talks and protracted negotiations to end the war that began after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Feb. 28. Asian shares mostly declined following the U.S. announcement. The strikes risk escalating direct clashes with Tehran, drawing in regional partners and threatening efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
