On Wednesday, Iran launched attacks on American bases and allies throughout the Gulf region. This action came after U.S. military strikes on Iran’s southern coast, which reportedly resulted in at least 18 fatalities, according to statements from Iran’s health minister.
In response to these events, President Trump addressed the situation at the White House. He indicated that the U.S. campaign would not be prolonged but issued a warning to Tehran, stating a significant retaliatory response if the conflict over the Strait of Hormuz persists.
