President Donald Trump says the United States is “not finished” with attacks against Iran as fighting widens across the region. Trump makes the remarks after renewed clashes between the United States and Iran resume roughly two weeks after the conflict flares again. He also says the damage inflicted in the broader Middle East conflict would take Iran decades to recover from if the US stopped now.
According to multiple regional reports, Iran expands its activities beyond previous targets, launching or conducting strikes affecting Gulf states. Bahrain reports that it intercepts Iranian attacks as air-raid sirens sound. Kuwait and Jordan report interception of drone and missile strikes and say that over several days Iran hits critical infrastructure, including power and water desalination facilities, leading to energy rationing. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards confirm a strike on Jordan.
The escalation unfolds alongside ongoing diplomacy. Trump’s remarks come in connection with a White House meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, while broader efforts involving mediators continue in parallel as the conflict grows and additional US strikes are reported.
