U.S. Races to Accomplish Iran Mission Before Munitions Run Out
The United States and Israel have launched joint military operations against Iran, with President Trump announcing "major combat operations." The strikes targeted sites across Iran, including near the Supreme Leader's offices, with reports of explosions in major cities. Iran confirmed retaliatory strikes against U.S. bases in Bahrain, Qatar, and the UAE, and military targets in Israel, reporting one fatality in the UAE. International reactions are varied, with China and Russia condemning the actions and calling for a return to negotiations, while Ukraine and Canada expressed support. Oman urged the U.S. not to escalate further. Flights across the Middle East have been disrupted, and some countries have closed their airspace. Concerns are rising about potential wider regional conflict and increased energy prices due to Iran's strategic location along the Strait of Hormuz.
