The US-Iran conflict continues to intensify as the United States launches fresh airstrikes and threatens to expand military operations. Reports indicate that the US has bombed Iran for the 11th consecutive night. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that the cost of the war has reached $37.5 billion.
President Donald Trump has threatened to attack a suspected Iranian nuclear facility known as "Pickaxe Mountain," vowing to do so "pretty soon, and very heavily." In response, Tehran has warned of an expansion of the war across the region.
Strikes have also hit Bahrain and Kuwait, raising fears of a wider regional conflict. The ongoing hostilities between Washington and Tehran are causing growing international concern as the situation remains volatile.
