US-Israel War on Iran Enters Day Five

The US and Israel have now struck nearly 2,000 targets inside Iran — roughly double the scale of the 2003 shock-and-awe campaign in Iraq — while Iran has retaliated with missile and drone strikes across Gulf states, hitting a US base in Kuwait and the US consulate in Dubai. Trump has rejected Iran's overtures to negotiate, with Secretary of State Rubio warning that 'the hardest hits are yet to come.' Iran's death toll has surpassed 800, with a mass funeral held in Minab for 165 schoolgirls and staff killed in an airstrike.
