"When we are done with them here in the next couple weeks, they will be weaker than they've been in recent history, Marco Rubio told reporters on Friday after meeting G7 foreign ministers in France."
"Despite the warnings, the firing continues, Israel Katz, the Israeli defence minister, said. And therefore attacks in Iran will escalate and expand to additional targets and areas that assist the regime in building and operating weapons against Israeli citizens."
"With stock markets reeling and economic fallout from the war extending far beyond the Middle East, Trump is under growing pressure. It is caused by Iran's continuing chokehold on the strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway through which a fifth of the world's oil is usually shipped."
Washington expects its military operation against Iran to conclude in weeks, not months, despite increasing violence and Israel's threats to expand attacks. US officials have provided mixed signals regarding the duration of their joint offensive with Israel, which began with a strike that killed Iran's supreme leader. Iran denies any negotiations are occurring. Israeli strikes have targeted Iranian nuclear facilities, and the situation is exacerbated by Iran's control over the strait of Hormuz, impacting global oil shipments.
