"When we are attacked, we have no choice but to respond. The more pressure they impose on us, the stronger our response will naturally be. Iran's military response would only strengthen, according to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in video comments Sunday, as he threatened to step up attacks on American targets across the Middle East in the face of intense U.S. and Israeli airstrikes."
"The war, which Israel and the United States launched with airstrikes on Feb. 28, has so far killed at least 1,230 people in Iran, at least 397 in Lebanon and at least 11 in Israel, according to officials. Six U.S. troops have also been killed. The conflict has rattled global markets, disrupted air travel and left Iran's leadership weakened by several thousand Israeli and American airstrikes."
Bahrain accused Iran of striking a desalination plant as regional tensions intensify between Iran, Israel, and the United States. Israeli airstrikes hit Tehran's oil facilities and Lebanese targets, with the campaign now nine days old and showing no signs of ending. Iranian President Pezeshkian threatened expanded attacks on American targets despite earlier conciliatory remarks. The conflict has killed at least 1,230 people in Iran, 397 in Lebanon, and 11 in Israel, with six U.S. troops also killed. Israeli military casualties mounted with two soldiers killed in southern Lebanon. Global markets have been disrupted, air travel affected, and Iran's leadership weakened by thousands of Israeli and American airstrikes.
