Iran threatens destruction over US strikes; tensions rise.
Intensifying US airstrikes against Iran have triggered severe reactions from Tehran, escalating tensions across the region. Iran has threatened to destroy 'all infrastructure in the region' if US President Trump carries out threats against Iranian energy facilities and infrastructure, asserting its control over the Strait of Hormuz as an 'invincible red line'. Concurrently, the US military claims strikes aim to degrade Iranian military capabilities threatening shipping, targeting sites near the Strait and in areas like Greater Tunb Island. Iran retaliated with missile attacks on Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait, while reports indicate damage to Iranian facilities and civilian areas.
