Trump Threatens Massive Iran Strike as War Escalates
Trump is weighing a major escalation in the US war on Iran after Iranian forces struck Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan, while the Pentagon quietly removed four recently killed soldiers from its official casualty list. The war has already cost the US nearly $110 billion, with the Trump administration now seeking an additional $67 billion from Congress. Iran's foreign minister warned that "mindless aggression" won't help prospects for a deal, as the UK declared itself "ready to defend" after Iran labelled British bases hosting US aircraft legitimate targets.
