Tehran fires at Israel as Trump warns US has not started 'destroying what is left' in Iran
Key Points:
- Israel reported a new missile attack from Iran, with its air defenses intercepting most missiles, though some damage occurred to houses, cars, and a train station in Tel Aviv; no casualties were immediately reported.
- US President Donald Trump warned on social media that the US military had yet to begin fully destroying Iran's infrastructure, threatening further strikes on bridges and electric power plants following the recent destruction of Iran’s tallest bridge.
- The conflict, which began over a month ago with US-Israeli strikes on Iran, has escalated to target economic and industrial sites, raising concerns about disruptions to global energy supplies, especially with Iran effectively closing the Strait of Hormuz.
- Gulf states, previously considered safe, have faced attacks attributed to Iran, including a drone strike on Kuwait’s refinery and assaults on American-linked industries in the UAE, Bahrain, and Israel, intensifying regional tensions.
- Despite the ongoing conflict, civilians in Tehran and Israel continue cultural observances like Nowruz and Passover, while the war’s economic impact has driven oil prices up and raised global concerns about inflation, jobs, and food security.
